Think CONTRA began as a simple idea to produce a slick, multimedia publication that is forward, creative and original. Exploring contemporary urban culture from the creative class’ point of view, it is a network of artists, photographers, designers, stylists, illustrators, writers and bloggers contemplating ideas, people and culture. A collective of thought purveyors who believe controversy and contrast are good, but creative freedom is even better.

Since launching in 2008, Think CONTRA has become a platform of discovery and the go-to resource for like minded creative people. It provides the direct link between emerging and established artists, and a public hungry for artistic expression.

Lissy Elle – Teacups & Tutus

We posted a series of photographs by Lissy Elle a few months ago. Those were stunning, confusing and utterly captivating images, in and of themselves. Enough to make me think, Man, I need to get to know this girl, even if on a purely aesthetic basis. I was struck by the haunting quality of her [...] >>

Jason Ierace – Gun For Hire

  Finding cool stuff online is like making rapid fire but unrelated connections in your brain – one second you’re thinking about puppies and the next you’re contemplating life on Mars.

CYEOMS by Crystal Yeomans

CYEOMS by Crystal Yeomans

This is a tale of two cities; a story of lovers and 2×4′s, nervous break downs and self discovery. But above all, this is a story about fashion. I met her at a party, somewhere between drunkeness and floating, but I didn’t forget about Crystal Yeomans, the designer behind CYEOMS. Crystal is a ‘reverse-rebel’; both [...] >>
