Rock Group
“Kid A” is a beautiful album about…I think, being lonely, but I really love the “Britpop” Radiohead exemplified by ‘The Bends’ and ‘Pablo Honey’. – Hillman
Rap and R&B Producer
This genius has been crafting some of the tastiest, most innovative, and brilliant electronic music out there. – Hillman
Principal and Designer, Pentagram.com
We’re lucky to live in NYC, where Ms. Scher’s amazing posters appear on walls, buildings, and billboards all around us. I recently saw her speak at the HOW Conference, loved her presentation…her work is beautiful. – Hillman
“The Graduate” : Title Sequence
Film
One of the best title sequences ever. No fancy text moves, no eye candy…just a beautiful emotive sequence that sets the tone for the movie. I can watch it over and over…and do. (DVD)
Cinematographer
Mr. Kovaks has a long list of great movies he has shot, but the one that really stands out in my opinion is ‘Five Easy Pieces’, directed by Bob Rafelson and starring Jack Nicholson. Simply Beautiful…Every shot.
American Photographer
Mr. Lorca di Corcia recently had a show at a gallery in downtown NYC and it was amazing. What he does is set lights up on fire escapes or store awnings…hidden…then waits and snaps shots of strangers walking by, lost in thought, yet illuminated as if they were on some strange Hollywood set.
Pop Band
I love these guys…the fact that they are attached to the design collective Tomato, is even more appealing. – Hillman
Poster Artist
One of France’s preeminent graphic artists, creating some 1,900 posters and hundred of theater sets. It has been said, that he discovered Josephine Baker.
American Artist : Film Maker
Recently, there has been a lot of press on Mr. Schnabel, first in the New Yorker, then a cover story in the Times Magazine. Inspiring in both his work and attitude.
