Images from the book
Double Vision
A collaboration between photographer Luke Austin and 50+ artists from all over the world.
It would have been more considerate of Abi to give me the Luke Austin assignment BEFORE I went to the west coast to visit my parents; they keep knocking on my door, wondering why I won’t come out for dessert and coffee and Netflix, and I can’t find the words to tell them that I’m very busy jerking off to Luke’s new book images.
Austin is a NYC-based photographer who focuses on taking intimate pictures of men. His pictures are sexy and funny, but best of all he’s got one hell of an eye for hot guys. Straight-up, good-old-fashioned hot-as fuck MEN in their underwear, shot by Austin then re-rendered by over 50 different artists from around the globe, each in their own equally distinctive styles: That’s what you’ll be getting at the launch of Austin’s new book, Double Vision, at The Highline Loft at 508 W26th St. on Thursday May 28 from 6:00-9:00PM. Double Vision is the fourth book in Austin’s Mini Beaubook series, created entirely with artists who Austin discovered through Instagram. How very “now.”
To add a few more meta-layers to this collaborative cock-cake, the exhibit will showcase a limited edition set of ‘Like’ T-shirts for the event created with NYC graphic artist Adam JK. NYC artist John Macconnell will be showing 12 of his “life-size charcoal drawings of naked men.” I’m really not happy that I’m missing this. Please go to this show for me, since I’m stuck at my parents house in the suburbs blowing my load all over these pictures. Copies of Double Vision will be on sale for $20 — will someone get me one please?!?
