In the newly released book Chicken: Low Art, High Calorie, graphic designer Siaron Hughes takes a look at the graphics used in the fast-food signage of independent fried chicken restaurants. As Hughes explains over at Art MoCo: "The book isn't about food or healthy eating—it is about a very specific vernacular design used to market food. Nothing in the book talks about food, just the signage and designs used to sell the food." Tasty. Available for purchase here.

A friend in New York recently sent me a link to The Kingston Lounge, a fabulous blog dedicated to "guerrilla preservation and urban archaeology." In the series of photographs above, Richard Nickel, Jr. takes us into the abandoned hallways, rooms, and staircases of state asylums. All are available to purchase as limited-edition prints.
In this series of photographs currently on display at the Paris-Beijing Photo Gallery, Belgium-based Pierre Siedel focuses on a single subject, contemplative and frozen in time, while surrounded by a mass of movement. More information, as well as the full collection of photos, can be found here.
