The Man — An interview with the talented Seb Lester, typographer and artist, at The Raw Book:
People may associate me with flourished calligraphy and intricate formal script styles, but I don’t want to be known as a stylist because I feel I can do a wide variety of things. I want to try to constantly evolve and progress, with quality being the only theme running through my work. No one would guess most of the projects I’ve worked on have been done by me.

Heart-Shaped Box — Phil Bicker, a senior photo editor at TIME, interviews photographer Bert Stern at Time Lightbox:

Stern took then 13-year-old actress Sue Lyon and her mother to a five-and- dime store in Sag Harbor, on eastern Long Island, to make the pictures. “I walked into the store and saw all these sun heart-shaped sunglasses and candy canes and other fun stuff that became the props for the shoot. I had not seen the movie but I underlined passages in Nabakov’s book that would make picture ideas. I always work with words that become pictures.”
