There’s Just Not Enough Transparency In Business Today
“In a world obsessed with superficial image it is a refreshing contrast to look beyond the surface and appreciate the stuff that surrounds us for what it is made of, not just what it looks like on the outside”
English artist Nick Veasey uses x-ray technology to peel back the layers and peer inside all manner of subjects; people, objects, natural forms and animals
The work has an ethereal, otherwordly quality & yet the things he uses to create the pictures are familiar & even ordinary
Nick’s work has won awards in every relevant photographic competition and shown in galleries around the world
These elegant yet unsettling artworks are a perfect example of the fusion between science and art
For Nick Veasey, artistic inspiration came from an unlikely source
While working as a photographer/designer for morning television in England, he was assigned the monotonous task of X-raying soda cans to determine which ones contained a winning code for a contest sponsored by Pepsi
After three days without a winner, he X-rayed his sneaker for kicks
“It was a great image and I thought ‘there’s something to this.’
It was one of those life-changing experiences
I just left behind everything else I was doing”
Veasey spent the next three months working with scientists to refine his technique
He learned to gauge object density and structure by experimenting with a variety of materials including plastic, flowers, metals and people
Taking the utmost care with his living subjects
Armed with his new knowledge, Veasey easily transformed it into commercial success
His intriguing visuals led to assignments for Nike, Porsche, IBM, Bloomberg and the European edition of Time
He has created such a stir with his advertising work that his “Bus-wrap” image of a whole bus in X-ray had to be removed from the roadways as a safety precaution
Lately Veasey spends more time working for his company

Not just for the Dusty Geography Teacher - New York-based artist Nicholas Tee Ruiz is bringing the Bow Tie back to the modern man’s wardrobe & that can only be a good thing for menswear
and why a bow tie? -
“Because who doesn’t love a bow tie! You can’t help but give a little grin when you see one and putting one on, well that’s just an even more stupendous feeling”
Initially Nicholas just wanted to “look dapper” at work - He is involved with the programmes and events at New York City’s MOMA
In January 2011 Nicholas began to construct what has now become 11 unique bow ties
The Inspiration - They were designed around the major exhibition openings and benefit events at MOMA that year
“The bow ties were inspired by talks with curatorial colleagues, artist research, gut feelings and my technical studies”
Bow Tie #1 - February 2011 for Picasso: Guitars 1912-1914. Guitar picks, wooden hanger & super glue
Nicholas used everyday materials such as Computer cable, Film, LEGO, Guitar Picks, Medicines and Corks to create fabulous wearable art in the form of a bow tie
They not only made for great conversation and discussion but were produced with insight and relevance to the subject matter & event
“Benefit events allowed more freedom as I was not constrained but challenged to interpret the events in a creative way.”
In 2012 Nicholas wants to take the bow tie further & he wants OUR help
“A forward thinking initiative to re-purpose everyday materials into works of wearable art”.
A Kickstarter campaign is currently running, to help him start an online store where he can sell his fun creations, that “aren’t outsourced and make you feel great”
Quintin teamed up with the coffee company Intelligentsia, where their Kevin Porter works, to make a limited edition of hats.
“This collaboration is a celebration of the idea that the customer deserves to buy into more than just the product that a brand offers, whether that be a freshly brewed cup of coffee or a hat, fresh off the production line. We are happy to present to you a fine collaboration for the end of 2011. 
“I Love Collaborations in Design & Production - Has a feeling of “Old Values”. Think Tanks based on handshakes and a (wo)man’s word.
Amazing things can be achieved when people come together with trust”
