So comes another edition of Eleven’s ‘Really Great Things’ post, where usually at the last minute, I bring to you creative heads who I find pants-wettingly amazing or truly inspiring. What a grander gift on Christmas day than to share some fellow creatives amongst dashboards of regurgitated riff raff.

James Gleeson (1915-2008) was an Australian Surrealist/Abstract artist. In high school my art teacher gave me a book on Gleeson which has an amazing series of surreal landscapes and forms, which at the time was very inspiring towards my view on rendering.

Nowadays i’ve only ever come to love Street Photography. Every other style I see takes a lot of finesse and skill to impress me. I mean, really, there are a lot of average photographers out there, me included. However, when you can take photos so effortlessly and gracefully as Inès ☆.

Sir Audio 57 is a twisted style freak with some brain melting rendering skills.

Raptius Bloodington takes some amazing black and whites that are super gritty and raw as hell. Clever fella with a laid back ‘tude. Get on it.

These are only a few great shots from Helen Levitt’s (1913-2009) ‘Slideshow’, a series of colour street photos. Not only is coloured street photography hard, it can be amazingly good if pulled of as correctly as this.

So I decided in between collecting photos for set posts and working I’d post up cool visuals to add some depth and character to this space. It will fill in time especially as I’ve gotten into the habit of not uploaded my photos till the end of the week.

Content will vary and I’ll link them all back to the original creators/sources (as best I can). I’ll throw up photographers, designers, artists and anything I’d use to procrastinate at work with. We’ll see what the response is like, so inbox me if this is funky or not and If unsuccessful, I’ll just go back to doing what I do’s.







Some really great, strong black and whites from some amazing places.

This may be the third time i’ve posted up Augustine Kofie, but seriously, he is such an amazing futurism artist/graffiti artist.

A very unappreciated photographer who takes some fantastic shots. A very good eye for the subtle and some great shots of friends and travels. A fellow Melbourne soulsnatcher.

One of my all time favorite abstract/futurism painters. I discovered Mr. Jago two years back and he still resonates in my mind as a genius with paint. He’s moved on from subtle robot characters to more abstract colour landscapes. Either way; amazing.

An absolutely stunning series called ‘Recycle Romania’ taken by Adam Urban. Very powerful images showing the affects of industrialization of Romania, or at least I can only assume from the images and short description provided.
