Illustrator Jasper Goodall has pumped out this great new series of work titled ‘Poster Girl’. Fusing his distinctive illustrative style with shiny latex and photography, Goodall explores themes of fetish and fantasy which seem to be ever present in his portfolio. Interesting observations have been made about how over time the colour pink has become associated with sexyness (along with it’s sexual partner black) and how the shininess of polished latex becomes almost fluid-like in texture when stretched over a body. Furthermore, shininess itself seems to have become sexy, whether it’s on a human body (suggesting lubrication) or whether it’s a shiny new car, people often refer to shiny objects as being sexy. To read more of the rationale visit the original post here. These works can be seen at Goodall’s personal website and his earlier works at Big Active

While trawling through the isles at Berkelouw Books the other day I came across the perfect dirty party reference ‘Last Night’s Party’, a book of images by American photographer Merlin Bronques. I have been pushing my event designs in this direction for the past few months so this is proving to be a fab source of inspiration. Even for those who need help piecing together an outfit to don on their next night of debauchery. See Merlin’s website for more.
