Hillman Curtis has been a major inspiration for me. His short films and books communicate clearly, with an honesty that borders on vulnerability. ‘Human’ is the word that comes to mind if I had to pinpoint the overarching qualities of why the work always captures me. The Hillman Curtis site recently re-designed. The new design is simple and accentuates the work it presents. The Short Films are especially well done, with a new short titled ‘Bridge‘. The Artist Series is not to be missed either.

If you're into it, leave a comment or trackback from your own site. Either way, stay sweet.
