bryony

It’s 2010 and Human Resources™ is starting to develop a more feminine side. We are really happy to be introducing Bryony Lloyd, our latest author. Since graduating with a degree in Illustration from the University of Brighton, and mucking around in New York for a bit, she has been working as a freelance illustrator in London.

Bryony cherishes all things nostalgic and tries to project this in her collage work, taking reference from old books, films and people that she admires (or is obsessed with). She wont admit it herself, but she also has her own eclectic blog of interesting books and people, that has been high on our blog radar for some time now. Well worth checking out.

New Millenium

HR1k

After a little over a year of existence, today we are celebrating the milestone of notching up our 1,000th post. To mark the occasion, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you, alongside all of our featured artists, for helping to make Human Resources™ the place it is.

You could say that the last twelve months have been eventful for us. We now receive around 500,000 hits per month from every corner of Planet Earth, and recently we were nominated by style bible Dazed & Confused magazine, for their ‘Arts & Culture Website of the Year’ award.

We hope that you will remain with us for the next 1,000 and you can rest assured that our project will continue to evolve over the coming months, with some exciting new developments.

Luchadores

Kinga Offert from Poland sent in these lovely hand-painted Luchadore figurines. Her original idea was to juxtapose the world of Mexican wrestlers with the gray and sad reality of Polish streets. But as it happens, the project got out of control and the figures, which were originally made as part of the diploma work, started to show up in different, faraway countries.

Your Golden Opportunity

It’s Monday, and another dose of creative inspiration arrived through my letterbox this morning. The parcel originated from Los Angeles and was sent by the talented photographer RJ Shaughnessy. Contained within the package was his latest publication titled, Your Golden Opportunity Is Comeing Soon (according to RJ, this was misspelled on purpose). The book is a series of black & white images of tired or damaged street furniture, beautifully captured in a way that further isolates them, emphasising their neglect.

The rest of his portfolio is well worth a look and intriguingly, RJ was part of the Adidas House Party campaign, which was featured on Human Resources back in February.

Thanks for sending it over RJ.

The talented Matthew Dent got in touch with us to let our readers know about his latest project. He has kindly offered to create an illustration for you. All that you have to do is send him an email with your name, likes and dislikes and once he has finished it, he will then send it to you.

Matt was even so kind as to create an illustration for Human Resources, which you can see above. What a nice fellow.
