Legend by Alex Guofeng Cao
Legend by Alex Guofeng Cao is a series of large scale photographs made up of many miniature photos of various iconic celebrities. Born in China and raised in the States, this New York based photographer’s work takes well known analog images and creating a digital mosaic in large scale with small scale photos. Taking it a step further, the resulting large scale image is actually made up of small images of different connected celebrities. For example, Marylin Monroe is made up of JFK images, Obama is made up of Lincoln images, and so on. While strolling through the Lower East Side, we stumbled onto his studio just before he was closing, but he was gracious enough to allow us to take a peek and grab some snaps. More photos after the jump, hit his site for more detailed images of his works.

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. How does it happen? Random. But interesting. Stream of conscious. Starting out with lord only knows what at this point, I skipped across photographer [...] >>
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 [...] >>

Adriana Lima does Amy Winehouse
Even as a crack smoking custy, model Adriana Lima still manages to look drop dead gorgeous portraying Amy Winehouse in the new issue of Love magazine. Let’s just hope Ms. Lima has a little more self-control. >>
