Dropping Septebmer 30, 2010, the Fall Issue of Art Nouveau draws cover art from Alex Gross, Flavio Melchiorre and more.

The Fall Issue of Art Nouveau is anything but timid. That’s why called this one BOLD. For the first time, an Art Nouveau issue will have four separate covers. For cover 1, Los Angeles based fine artist, Alex Gross, shows us his latest series of work Discrepancies, We catch up with singer/songwriter Bilal for cover 2, New York based socialites and eye designers Coco & Breezy shoot for cover 3 and Italian fine artist, Flavio Melchiorre is introduced in a special piece by Editor Kendrick Daye for cover 4.

Also included in this issue are interviews with Dragonette, Turf One & Blaine Fontana, eight eye popping fashion editorials by Kendrick Daye, Shannon Sinclair, Nikita Gale and more. Of course there’s more, but you just have to see it.

All I want to say about this news is the following: YES!

Pre-order here.

I interviewed SheOne for the latest issue of Living Proof Magazine. The guys have just uploaded the feature to their site, so if you were unable to pick up a copy of Issue 5, fear not you can read it here.

Arrested Motion reminds that Issue 12 of VNA magazine is releasing today. There’s a party at Pure Evil Gallery, but more importantly the issue has some quality coverage of the artist Roa.

Cool Hunting has the scoop on a fun new ‘zine translating tattoo stories. Everyone (who has a tattoo) has one… hell, I have about 50… and regardless of context they are revealing and often even amusing. “Ink” is published by KesselsKramer, in collaboration with Swiss designers Happy Pets, and appears in large format, limited in print to 250. Happy Pets provide illustrations for each story… a nice twist, but slightly sad given I’d like to see the actual tattoos that inspire the tales.

In any event, I don’t regularly cover creative writing here, so that in and of itself is also exciting.

Full story at Cool Hunting.
