Mesopotamian Ink
Absolutely mesmerizing with their rich history which dates back to ancient Mesopotamia, the intricate Deq traditional tattoo designs are literally fading into the past.
Preserving them forever in our visual memory, photographer Murat Yazar captures images of the traditional Kurdish and Arabic people concentrated in southeast Turkey who participated in the ancient tradition of Deq tattoos. Various tribal designs symbolize spirituality as well as protection and good fate and were created using human breast milk, lampblack and animal gall in a specialized mixture.
Over time, these traditional tattoo designs have begun to fade into the aged skins of the wearers, and the tradition itself has begun to fade as newer generations choose to forgo this ritual, slowly making the artistically symbolic expression of Deq tattoos a thing of the past.

Mr X Talks About Life, Death & Drugs
Director Alex Nicholson, with the help of Rogue Films, has created a surreal short film completely in black and white that features Southern London tattoo artist Duncan X. The short film features Mr. X talking and explaining the meanings of his tattoos, life and work. The dark short video offers an intensely surreal and intimate insight into his thoughts on his work and special moments in his life worth mentioning.
In the video, we listen to Duncan in reflective thought, discussing his values and thoughts on life, drugs and other experiences. He touches on the fact that someone who gets tattoos on a more frequent basis reflects directly on the mentality and state of the person. He starts off with no tattoos and as he talks, tattoos slowly and gradually grow on him and materialize. The tattoo becomes a symbol for the unburdening of his story and past as his tattoos become more apparent as the topic of discussions become easier and lighter.
Neon Geisha Captures
The "High and Dry" beauty story by photographer Clara Copley features the gorgeous Kinga. The beauty from Paulo Ribeiro Management rocks a range of vivid cosmetic looks that are courtesy of makeup artist Virginia Bertolani.
Using MAC, Illamasqua and Bobbi Brown products, Virginia transforms her model muse with the use of bright and neon hues. This striking editorial gained its inspiration and name from RadioHead's popular indie rock single, "High and Dry."
The conceptual cosmetic story highlights daring and theatrical looks. Kinga pulls off a fresh and clean face that is accented with highlighter eyeshadow applications and electric lipstick looks. The model channels a contemporary Geisha that is ready to dance the night away with a pale face that is highlighted by neon pops of color.

Edible Earth by Katie Fotis
The food photography series titled Edible Earth by Katie Fotis, an art director and set designer based in London, England, is very deceptive. At first a person might think that it involves crystals and gems made to look like food thanks to the constant cutlery in each shot as well as props like a takeout container. In reality, it revolves around jellies made to look like precious gems.
Created in collaboration with Bompas & Parr and photographer Steve Gallagher, Edible Earth by Katie Fotis shows just how creative food can be. As written on Fotis' website, "Edible Earth series is served up with a masculine and sardonic wit mixed with a playful aesthetic challenging perceptions of the pleasures associated with food in an experimental way."
