TASCHEN Books has just announced Alison Jackson’s book “Confidential”. A student of London`s Royal College of Art she
astounded the world with her award-winning BBC TV series, “Double Take.”
Alison Jackson photographed what we think happened behind closed doors or what everybody in this world has thought could have happened. Her photographs include the Queen of England on the toilet, George Bush and Tony Blair chatting in the sauna, Jennifer Lopez getting her butt lift and even Monica Lewinsky lighting Bill Clinton’s cigar. If seeing is believing then watch out when you look at these photos.

As the copyright statement says “All photographs © Alison Jackson
All well-known individuals depicted in this book are not “real”. The photographs have been created using look-alikes. The well-known individuals have not had any involvement in the creation of the photographs and they have not approved them, nor has their approval been sought for the publication of these photographs.”

These super durable vinyl wallets are limited edition created by different up and coming designers from all over the world. The inside as well as the outside has been reworked by each artist which I think makes them extra special. You have art that everyone can see and you can enjoy the inside each time you pay for something. The wallet consists of a large pocket on the inside and four small pockets out of crosshatch vinyl for your ID and or credit cards.
