"Juergen Teller, Cindy Sherman, Marc Jacobs"

"Juergen Teller, Cindy Sherman, Marc Jacobs", $33.85 NEW, Stingy Style Store
 
Cindy Sherman is one of my all-time favorite photographers. She is considered a portrait photographer, but she only ever photographs herself in different "disguises." Thus some don't consider her a photographer at all (since she really never snaps the photo), some would just call her a set designer, or costume designer. None the less, if you would recognize Marc Jacobs print campaigns from magazines, you should already know Cindy Sherman because she is the one who started Marc's campaigns comme ça. 

In this book, Cindy Sherman and Juergen Teller teamed up to photograph themselves for Marc Jacobs clothing line.

Here are some spreads from the book, her style is...entertaining to say the least.

I'm dying laughing at that baby...

"TARA DONOVAN" 

"TARA DONOVAN", $29.70 NEW, Stingy Style Store

Tara Donovan is a contemporary sculptor whom (whom?) I completely admire. Her works are extraordinary and they literally keep you guessing. She usually makes installations of everyday objects such as styrofoam cups, pencil shavings, straws, etc., but uses them in mass to make them look more of nature...less materialistic? Make sense?...didn't think so. Maybe after you see some examples...

I'm still dying laughing at that baby...
