The first drawing available from Jason Polan's The Drawing ProjectI am beginning to think that Jason Polan does not sleep. He produces amazing work at a ridiculous clip and manages a vast array of creative enterprises including the Taco Bell Drawing Club and his blog, The 53rd Street Biological Society. Now you can add The Drawing Project to his restlessly expanding portfolio. What is The...

The work offers an insiders perspective on the tense personal crises of conscience that play out during working hours in the glass towers that give identity to this city. The photos offer me a constant cool reminder of why...

Zoe Strauss Kicks Ass
Posted on 19:37 by election
© Zoe StraussHow much ass can one lady kick? If that lady is Zoe Strauss then we are talking about a full time ass-kicking machine. Mrs. Strauss was just named a USA Gund Fellow for 2007. United States Artists awards $50,000 to each fellow "to nurture, support, and strengthen the work of America’s finest living artists." What a huge honor and certainly well deserved.

New Halloween in Harlem Photos
Posted on 19:36 by election
This past Wednesday I hit the streets of East Harlem for the fourth year in a row to shoot portraits for my Halloween in Harlem series. In past years it was much easier because we lived in the neighborhood, but it was worth the trip from Jackson Heights to experience the chaos and joy of the holiday across 110th Street. Three of the new photographs are below. Check out my Web site to see more...
