Surface by Aurélien Juner
Surface is a personal photographic réflexion, by Aurélien Juner, on the function of fashion magazine as a medium of dissemination of “mass culture” images and its relation to reality – questioning the status of the fictional world and idealized created for the magazine, and its relationship to the real world where the image is built.

“The concept is simple. Take a blank sheet with nothing but the basic outline of a pinup girl and illustrate a unique scene around her.”
This is fucking amazing.

That awesome moment when you return home to find the editor-in-chief of Perigee Books (Penguin Group USA) has sent you free books because she likes your blog.
Seriously though- I’ve been flipping through both books all evening, and each page is crying out for me to unleash a serious doodle frenzy. I’m sure these publications are mostly aimed at children, but if you’re a big kid such as myself you’ll love defacing the hell out of them regardless!
Perigee Books has previously published creative and interactive bestsellers such as Keri Smith’s much-loved Wreck This Journal. Andrew Pinder’s The Graffiti Doodle Book is filled with his own illustrations of iconic images, enticing you to ‘doodle on the dollar bill, scribble on the Spinx, add yourself to Mount Rushmore’. Travis Nichols’ The Monster Doodle Book is a sort of game of exquisite corpse, filled with half-finished drawings of monsters and creatures begging you to add your own mark. Thanks again to Marian for kindly sending me such treats!
P.S If any other professional book-type folks follow my blog, by all means, feel very free to send me further free books… because I am a serious book slut. No pressure. Cheers ;) x
