Nine Portraits By Indian Street Photographers Tony Hayward

Tony Hayward is a sculptor, teacher and avid collector of Indian objects (we’ve included Tony’s collection of Indian rat traps in the latest issue of our magazine, but these things are only a very small part of a growing collection of utilitarian objects). The book featured here, Nine Portraits By Indian Street Photographers, is testament to the resourceful nature of Indian makers, who, in this case, produced makeshift cameras with bottle tops for lens covers. The book, as the title suggests, contains nine portraits of Tony Hayward himself, and is a little gem.

Untitled Magazine Nr.5 Hugo and Marie, Mike Perry Studio, Studio New Work

Untitled, published by Mike Perry Studio, is an “amorphous publication – each issue reinvents itself by discarding the size, format and theme of each previous issue.” #5, the current issue, deals with love and sex, and is curated by the great Hugo and Marie. Including work by Micah Lidberg, Sam Green and Jesse Auersalo, it’s both a successful reflection on contemporary illustration, and a great, beautifully designed reference piece.

Download Helvetica For Free contains 100 excerpts from Steve Roggenbuck’s MSN Messenger history, set in large helvetica. “Most of the lines,” Roggenbuck says, “were originally written by me or my partner Jessica from 2006-08, around when we were finishing high school and beginning college.” The result is an affecting, (sometimes) personal comment on what it means to be (a) in a relationship, (b) of an age increasingly reliant on internet communication, and © generally alive today.
