feet portraits.

Aline takes self portrait of her feet, in various stages of her life. I love how I can see such growth and lifestyle changes here. What fabulous places her feet have taken her! Link: ALINE SMITHSON

tracey thorn album.

I’m pretty un-cool when it comes to music (Milli Vanilli, anyone?), but I spotted Tracey Thorn’s latest album in my local bookstore and wanted to snatch it up that instant… all because of the totally cool artwork. I didn’t (should I?), but I did do some research and found the design team that created it.
