Sam Hicks
Sam Hicks is a photographer who we were lucky to do a bit of work with last year and hope to again.
It's the last week (and a bit) of his show in the Lanes in Brighton at the Crane Kalman gallery, so if you're there any time between now and the 19th of July and have had enough of seagulls and or just other people generally, go and see his work on huge C-Prints. Or buy one, like Will Young did.
It's not just that he shoots nails-looking dudes on bikes and lonely-looking molls in motels, but it's his lighting: David Lynch meets Wim Wenders meets Lawrence G. Paull meets John Seale.

2 Many VJs
Last Saturday I nipped down to Brixton to catch 2 Many Djs do a gig at the Academy. Not only did they musically smash the back out of the night, they had an awesome VJ set that accompanied the Djing. For every tune they mixed in, it's artwork animated and was projected behind them as they played. A really simple idea that worked very well.
I'm not 100% sure the tracks were on DVD and they were mixing with VDJs, but it's possible. Either way, the boys done good.
The clearest example of the graphics I could find from the night.
Manchester, not Brixton, but showing a transition between two tracks.
