Stefan Sagemeister

Here are a couple of older pieces by New York designer Stefan Sagemeister. He is an intense designer who went so far as to have the words carved into his skin. He demonstrates a severe loyalty to artistic integrity.

I like both of these pieces very much as well as a lot of his other work. The Lou Reed is something I have seen around for years being a big V. U. fan. The words adhering to the contour of his face are a great idea. The skin reminds of another artist who (embarrassingly enough) I can't remember the name of who shot himself in protest of the Vietnam War. The emphasis of the words is delivered through the violence of the act.
