>> Damn my ancestry and parents for not giving me a name as pun-tastic and workable as Brooklyn-based photographer Billy Kidd. "I was Shot by Billy Kidd" headlines his website and his blog and rightly so because it makes complete wholehearted sense. The Kidd dropped me an email and attached some geometric madness beauty shots that caught my eye immediately. These were originally published in LA'G online magazine and feature some Fred Butler/Franc Fernandez-esque custom-made triangular headpieces that intensely and very purposefully clash with the make-up. I'm intrigued by the texture used on the facets of the shapes, as they resemble a cross between fibrous wood and grainy colouring in pencils. I feel a Caran D'Ache urge coming over me... (still waiting for my grandma to drop me the 20 year special edition Lanvin 120 colour set...)
