The Japanese Tattoo is out today! It was a real honor to delve into the rich history and culture behind traditional tattooing in Japan while making this book — my 6th (!) with @manami.tokyo. She is so knowledgeable about the topic, having been involved in tattoo journalism for over two decades. Includes amazing interviews with masters in the field and a breakdown of recurring themes and symbolism, plus truly incredible full-body photos. Designed by the incomparable @sebitmin, with production by the best, @lu_mierl 🇯🇵🌸📚

NYC Street Vendors is out worldwide today! It feels like a particularly great time to highlight and celebrate the work of all the amazing people — an estimated 95% of whom are immigrants to the U.S. — who run the city’s food trucks, coffee carts, market stalls, and more across all five boroughs. This was such a fun book to make with the best team, @joelholland_studio (illustrations), @bydaviddodge (text), @chickfriedstike (design) and @lu_mierl (production). It also features an Introduction by the very awesome @jaekicho, and we’ve got a nice quote on the back from @streetvendorproject (if you’re not familiar with their work, definitely check them out and support) 🌭☕️🌯🍎🥨🫔🫑🗽📚

🎃Happy Halloween!🎃 This year I’m Leigh Bowery! If you’re not familiar, he was the most fabulous artist/fashion designer/club kid ever, bringing looks to the London scene in the 1980s and early ‘90s until his untimely death at age 33 from an AIDS-related illness. After visiting the Tate Modern’s retrospective exhibition about him this summer (and seeing these glasses IRL), I just knew a tribute was in order. Also! I’ve got nails inspired by two of his designs, by @thefingerbuffet 👻❤️

Out now! It was an honor to work with iconic photographer @jamelshabazz on Prospect Park, which showcases 45 years of his photos taken there. The book was thoughtfully designed by the talented @rushjacksonstudio, and features beautiful essays by @noelletheard, @laylahb, and @richardegreen. Production wizardry by @lu_mierl. Please check out the book, and go spend some time in the park, which Jamel refers to as his ‘oasis in Brooklyn’ 🌳📸📚

Check it out! 🎵🗽📚🎉❤️

Out worldwide next Tuesday Sept. 9th! I had a devilishly good time working with my favorite madman-genius @viktor_wynd on our third book together, Dark Fairy Tales, which features stories from around the world that he has collected on his extensive travels. @luciana_nedelea_artworks, who specializes in heavy metal-style art, has provided the most wickedly perfect illustrations to accompany the tales, and @benjaminwolbergs design drives it all home. This book also marks my first foray into *spredges* (sprayed edges), which I think turned out just fab — thanks to production manager extraordinaire @lu_mierl 👹🧚♀️📚

The design for Queer Happened Here walks a line between playful energy and deep respect for the material — something that felt celebratory but also thoughtful, especially given the significance of this moment. The book is landing at a time when these histories feel more urgent than ever, and it was important to us that the design invite readers to engage with care. (While working with this material, we were constantly getting goosebumps.)
Visual inspiration was pulled from queer DIY publishing traditions with the duotone treatments across the chapter openers, nodding to old zines and underground papers. The chapter titles and cover letterings were physically printed, folded, and scanned, creating textures that feel lifted straight from a flyer or a stack of handouts. Club names are styled as signposts, giving a sense of wayfinding through the city. On the chapter divider pages, they’re mapped according to their real locations in Manhattan — almost like a night out you can trace with your finger.

Queer Happened Here is out today! I’m deeply proud to have commissioned and edited this book, which looks at 100 years of landmark LGBTQ+ spaces in NYC and is authored by expert writer and researcher Marc Zinaman (@queer_happened_here — who is also the sweetest guy). As queer rights are under attack in the US right now, it feels so important to share information about and celebrate the types of places we’ve included — they are where, in my opinion, the best aspects of contemporary culture are created. The book was designed lovingly and thoughtfully by @johnphilipsage and @oldthingsnewplaces, and it features a fun, poignant Foreword by the iconic @peppermint247. Production wizardry by @lu_mierl; published by @prestel_publishing. Please check it out! ❤️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🗽📚

Queer Happened Here is out today! I’m deeply proud to have commissioned and edited this book, which looks at 100 years of landmark LGBTQ+ spaces in NYC and is authored by expert writer and researcher Marc Zinaman (@queer_happened_here — who is also the sweetest guy). As queer rights are under attack in the US right now, it feels so important to share information about and celebrate the types of places we’ve included — they are where, in my opinion, the best aspects of contemporary culture are created.

Il Visualizzatore Storie Instagram è uno strumento facile da usare che ti permette di guardare e salvare le storie, video, foto o IGTV di Instagram in modo segreto. Con questo servizio puoi scaricare contenuti e goderteli offline ogni volta che vuoi. Se trovi qualcosa di interessante su Instagram che vorresti rivedere più tardi o vuoi vedere le storie restando anonimo, il nostro Visualizzatore è perfetto per te. Anonstories offre una soluzione eccellente per mantenere la tua identità nascosta. Instagram ha lanciato per la prima volta la funzionalità Storie nell'agosto 2023, che è stata rapidamente adottata da altre piattaforme per il suo formato coinvolgente e tempestivo. Le storie permettono agli utenti di condividere aggiornamenti rapidi, che siano foto, video o selfie, arricchiti con testo, emoji o filtri, e sono visibili per solo 24 ore. Questo limite di tempo crea un forte coinvolgimento rispetto ai post normali. Oggi, le storie sono uno dei modi più popolari per connettersi e comunicare sui social media. Tuttavia, quando guardi una storia, il creatore può vedere il tuo nome nella loro lista di visualizzatori, il che potrebbe essere un problema per la privacy. E se desiderassi navigare tra le storie senza essere notato? Ecco dove Anonstories diventa utile. Ti consente di guardare contenuti pubblici su Instagram senza rivelare la tua identità. Basta inserire il nome utente del profilo che ti interessa e lo strumento mostrerà le sue ultime storie. Funzionalità del Visualizzatore Anonstories: - Navigazione Anonima: Guarda le storie senza apparire nella lista di visualizzazione. - Nessun Account Necessario: Visualizza contenuti pubblici senza registrarti su Instagram. - Download dei Contenuti: Salva qualsiasi contenuto delle storie direttamente sul tuo dispositivo per un uso offline. - Guarda i Punti Salienti: Accedi ai punti salienti di Instagram, anche oltre la finestra di 24 ore. - Monitoraggio dei Repost: Tieni traccia dei repost o dei livelli di interazione nelle storie per i profili personali. Limitazioni: - Questo strumento funziona solo con account pubblici; gli account privati restano inaccessibili. Vantaggi: - Privacy: Guarda qualsiasi contenuto su Instagram senza essere notato. - Semplice e Facile: Nessuna installazione di app o registrazione richiesta. - Strumenti Esclusivi: Scarica e gestisci contenuti in modi che Instagram non offre.
