Joe Cariati
Joe Cariati is a designer and glassblower from Los Angeles who produces high quality, hand-crafted contemporary glassware.
"Feather-weight, a lot of light transmission and overall clean lines are really what my glass is about. I'd love to see it float off the table. It's extremely difficult to execute this quality in terms of technique, which I find very exciting, it keeps me engaged in the process." "My approach is to craft the glass quickly and efficiently; clean, pure, simple and beautiful."

Fred Tomaselli
1. Glassy, 2006.
2. Butterfly effect, 1999.
3. Torso, 1999.
4. Laura, 1995.
b.1956 in California, lives in New York. 'Fred Tomaselli is celebrated for the ecstatic fantasies he presents in his pictures—explosions of color, laced with art-historical references, that both invite transcendence and hint at the more toxic, monstrous visions that can accompany quests for the sublime. He uses a range of techniques, including collage, painting and glazing, to make his highly decorative pictures that are often described as psychedelic—particularly since he has infamously included pills and marijuana leaves among his collage materials (which once led to his works being detained by customs officials in France)'.
"I want people to get lost in the work. I want to seduce people into it and I want people to escape inside the world of the work. In that way the work is pre-Modernist. I throw all of my obsessions and loves into the work, and I try not to be too embarrassed about any of it. I love nature, I love gardening, I love watching birds, and all of that gets into the work. I just try to be true to who I am and make the work I want to see. I don’t have a radical agenda."-source

"I started to take photographs when I turned Fifteen. I don’t know what it was that made me want to start taking them but I think I felt like I knew exactly what I wanted to have the people around me do in them. Wanted strong blank stares and space. Wanted boredom."
"I just want someone to find everything I’ve done in a bin at Savers and take it home and look at it, get bored, leave it somewhere. Ultimately, I think that would be the most honest thing I could do. I think it might be where it belongs."
b.1984. Texas, US.

Richard Mcguire
1-6. Fear(s) of the dark.
7. Here, 1989.
"I didn’t feel going in that I had a universe to protect the way most of the other artists did. Stylistically, I think I’m pretty flexible. I was trying to find my solution to this particular situation. The film I made before looked nothing like this one. In that one [Micro Loup], everything is seen from above looking straight down for the entire film. Everything is abstracted, but once you realize what you’re seeing you follow the story logically."——Aiga interview

4. Adidas Trendbook 2008, 2007
5. Zuidas 2008. Campaign for Buildings pojects, Zuidas, Amsterdam.
"The Dutch photographer Maurice Scheltens creates still-lifes that are both hyper realistic and completely artificial. Objects taken from the worlds of commerce, fashion and design are removed from their natural habitats and placed in a new environment, often exposing them to uneasy conditions. Objects balancing on one another or left all alone, lost in a monochrome background. "—Nina Folkersma.

Shawn Kuruneru
Black and white. surreal. faces. collage. figurative. strokes. human. expression. Shawn Kuruneru was born 1984 in Toronto, Ontario and currently lives and works in Montreal, Quebec.
'The clusters of faces are about simultaneity, repetition and my interest in portraiture. My work is an amalgam of drawing and collage which is why there is strange juxtapositions and repeated imagery. I edit, layer, cut, distort and simplify a lot of my drawings. I like the idea that there will never be a singular perfect version of something.'—Fecalface.

Coöp
Ben Glezer, photographer. Identity.
Coöp is a collective of creatives founded in 2004 by Paul Marcus Fuog. The idea was to establish a creative environment where designers could fluidly and dynamically work together – sharing, inspiring and experimenting. The team of Coöp includes Dan Honey, Paul Fuog and Bec Worth.
'Our design philosophy is holistic. We combine critical thought, style, function and finish to create aesthetically pleasing designs that work. Uniting theoretical foundation with imagination, our work is both ordered and playful and is defined as contemporary with classic sensibilities. We are influenced by swiss-german design, object-based photography, clean typography and ordered grid-based designs.'
