Ric Stultz

Ric Stultz is probably one of my favorite illustrators/artists.

I absolutely love the bright colors

and the images he uses to depict what he's trying to say.

His work speaks for itself.

All of these paintings are painted with gouache, gesso & ink on paper.

Picturing The Sound

Another Lost Voice

Never Stayed Long

We Will Be Together Soon

Always Been The Watcher

Avedon: Fashion Photographer

 

Richard Avedon.

Renowned fashion photographer.

Worked for Vogue for almost 40 years.

Photographed people like

Audrey Hepburn and Twiggy.

 

I was first introduced to his work in high school,
on a family outing to the Detroit Institute of Arts.
I fell in love,
he worked in a time where every edit to a picture had to be made by hand,
where every picture was taken on a film camera.
a time when fashion stayed inside the studio,

but he gave movement and personality to the photographs.

A truly inspiring man.
