The great Luke Copping, whose photography graces the cover and Fandemonium stories in the current issue of Block Club, is already at work on a publication of his own. Copping has created a one-off magazine that serves as a sort of living portfolio/website/artistic statement.

Fifty-eight pages contain his studio work, with concise descriptions of style and creative philosophy. It is a creative piece of work that serves Luke’s work well, as it pertains to either client attraction, creative display, coffee table bliss, or any combination of the above. His photos are about truth and revelation, not result or product. It’s exciting to see self-promotion taken to innovative places like this.

Good work Luke, as always. :)

This is a thoughtful read about this week’s commemoration of the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. As the media approached this milestone anniversary, as with the previous nine, there was much discussion over how to visually convey the mood and sentiments of a 2011 world. Editors and art directors at major magazines and newspapers had many options, and as many responsibilities. Read some of the big ones discussing their thoughts in this enlightening NYT article.
