Counter-Print.co.uk

Counter-Print.co.uk is dedicated to the promotion and sale of Art and Design related material. Often out of print or hard to find, they aim to celebrate both forgotten gems as well as those heralded designers that we all admire.

Loudmouth

Holy laser cut typography, Batman! Some really fun stuff from Start, a design collective made up of Phil Robson and Mathieu Carlot based in Sydney, Australia.

Fallen Princesses

JPG Magazine recently published a project called, Fallen Princesses by Dina Goldstein. These works place Fairy Tale characters in modern day scenarios. In all of the images the Princess is placed in an environment that articulates her conflict. The ‘…happily ever after’ is replaced with a realistic outcome and addresses current issues.

Dina states, “As a young girl, growing up abroad, I was not exposed to Fairy tales. These new discoveries lead to my fascination with the origins of Fairy tales. I explored the original brothers Grimm’s stories and found that they have very dark and sometimes gruesome aspects, many of which were changed by Disney. I began to imagine Disney’s perfect Princesses juxtaposed with real issues that were affecting women around me, such as illness, addiction and self-image issues.”

Pulp

Pulp is a collaboration between supermodel Joni Harbeck and photographer Neil Krug. Thanks to the overwhelming response to the pictures on Flickr, Krug is publishing a volume of over 200 photos which is due for release in August. The book features Harbeck as heroine in a fabricated world of Krug’s creation. All of the images in the book have been photographed with expired Polaroid film to emulate the look and feel of old paperbacks and album covers. Beautiful stuff.
