Grafuck by Ami Kealoha
Grafuck a new book published by newly formed husband-and-wife design team me, me (Fiel Valdez and Peter Vattanatham) is the latest offering of something other than the platform stiletto and waxed chest versions of sexy pictures. Valdez and Vattanatham tasked a mix of international artists and designers with making imagery based on what many people still consider verboten and the upshot is a volume that includes Brendan Monroe of California, Maya Hayuk of New York, Airside of London, and members of Switzerland collective Büro Destruct.
