Richard Phillips

This Richard Phillips painting 'Spectrum' is an amazing example of modern day pop art. This painting is featured in Gossip Girl in the Van Der Woodsen household along with other well known artists' works such as a photograph by Ryan McGinley.

TWhite

TWhite AKA Troy White is a graphic designer and art director from Florida. This Of Montreal poster which he designed with Yasly (a creative collective also based in Florida) got me interested in his work.

Troy White is the designer for billabong, element, quicksilver, rip curl and many other clothing brands.

Zoey Deschanel

How is it that Zoey Dechanel always looks so darling and classy? This 500 Day of Summer star first captured my heart when she was William Miller's rebellious sister in Almost Famous. Ever since I have kept an eye on her.

In 2006 Zoey teamed up with M Ward to form the indie-folk band She & Him. Check out this music video for She & Him's Why do you let me stay here? Which is a complement to the film 500 Days of Summer.

Yummm

nothing compares.

Ryan McGinley

Ryan McGinley is a photographer from New York City. His work is always stunning and one of my favourite collections of his photos was his photo essay of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics for The New York Times. Heres a few samples.

His shoot with MIA was awesome too, here is a video behind the scenes.
