Simon Hoegsberg’s latest project is entitled “We’re all Gonna Die – 100 Meters of Existence”. The Danis photographer spent 20 days in Berlin taking photos from a railroad bridge. He ended up taking photos of 178 people, and spent the following 17 months compiling them all into one, long photo which measures 100 meters wide, and might possibly be the longest photo in the world.

Rick Griffin gained his popularity in the 1960s designing rock posters, which incorporated surfing imagery, vivid colors and wild lettering during the burgeoning hippie movement. His unique, psychedelic style was definitively his own. One of his most enduring designs was the logo for Rolling Stone magazine. Unfortunately, Griffin passed away in 1991, but his art lives on as Vans pay tribute to him with a pack for their Fall Vault collection. The pack consists of two t-shirts and four shoes which feature his trademark detailed imagery and swirling lettering.
