Blow Job

1. Mikael Jansson Lara Stone for Interview Magazine May 2011
2. Jeff Koons Caterpillar & Acrobat, 2003

The quote of a quote. When woman ride inflatable dinosaurs. When lobsters do a handstand. When pop becomes post-pop. And everything is done in a consciously obvious manner.

It's a delicate topic. Snakes and the texture of their skin are of rare beauty. And therefore must be protected. Therefore, we can either fake it. Or do it like Salma.

Commercial Break

My first official advertising campaign, to be admired on Les Mads very soon. Introducing my capability of creating a gif. The doubtlessly chic claim communicates Lynn & Horst's most strinking feature: All contents are super cheap! Buy now!

Merve Tuna Graduate Collection

Humanity is questioned and the monstrous idealised. Taxidermised animals serve as belt, stole, brooch and trousers. Cruel accessories opposed to soft and feminine materials. A macabre vision, yet perfectly executed.
