Wait Miss, Is that a Gun in Your Hand?
The beginnings of feminism are most notably associated with women’s suffrage movements in the 19th century… and we have come a long way since those early movements for the equality of the women of the world. Even today, it is somewhat unusual for women to be pictured with guns. Fine art photographer Lindsay McCrum has created a new photo book challenging cultural norms and our national identity. The idea of combining beautiful women with firearms is no new idea, but in “Chicks with Guns” the firearms are not just props.
Each photo in the book portrays a woman and her personal firearm. In a country with 15-20 million women gun owners, this timely and beautiful portrayal of that often overlooked group allows each woman to have a voice, with their own words accompanying each photo. The women are hunters, sportswomen, competition shooters and gun enthusiasts from all levels of society. It’s hard to put a finger on exactly what it is about these photos, but the women portrayed certainly do exude strength and class.

Dexter: Killer Posters Inspired by the Show
Ty Mattson is killing it with his most recent poster for season 6 of the horrifyingly interesting TV drama, Dexter. Mattson, principle and creative director of Mattson Creative in Southern California, is obviously a fan of the TV series and decided to make posters symbolizing the key events of each season. He mentioned on his blog how the posters ended up being a much larger project than he anticipated, but he loved how they turned out. Apparently so did many others, including Showtime who featured his work on the dvd cover of the 5th season.
Needless to say, the poster’s dark, yet inviting feel have been a hit, and for good reason. Wonderfully arranged on the posters are small, 1960′s style illustrated scenes. The limited yet bold color palette of the pieces make you feel like you are watching the opening sequence of a Hitchcock film. And if you are a fan of the show, there are sure to be pleasant little surprises to discover throughout the art.
See all of them posted, and how you can get your hands on them, here: Mattson Creative Blog
