The Fox is Black

  • Maisie Cousins is a London-based photographer known for her intimate and hyper-saturated images that push the boundaries of seduction and repulsion. With a similar visual approach to iconic photographer Marilyn Minter, Cousins is interested in seeing the natural world for what it is, both beautiful and disgusting. I love how unsettling her work is. Everything is so sharp and saturated, you get to see every detail, for better or worse. It’s all so visceral an reaction provoking. If you’re interested in learning more, I highly suggest reading her interview with Materia, where she gives a lot of insight into the whys of her work.

  • Barcelona creative agency Ingrid Picanyol Studio has brought to life a new look and feel for Dalston Coffee, a small roaster located in the El Raval area of Barcelona. Borja Roselló began roasting coffee there back in 2015, was inspired by the area of Dalston in London, and in particular, the charming red brick buildings.

    That’s where Picanyol and her studio come in, translating the packaging into a small buildings with different colored awnings for each style of bean, creating a small neighborhood of sorts. The result is so charming and inviting, and they look so cute sitting on the shelves together. I’m going to visit this week to pick up a building for myself.
