If it was up to us, all the best design in the world would be posted within the Parfois Portfolio. But it's not up to us. Stumbling the web we often bump into things worth sharing. The world wide web is so full off great things that will never end up in our portfolio, but which we want the world to see. For this we created our blog. At this moment there are 4 of us blogging on a regular basis. Work, studies and social life makes that there are weeks with a lot of posts, and weeks without. But we'll do our best in bringing you the nicest shit on a acceptable basis.
A great series by Argentinian photographer Irina Werning. Back to the future presents remakes of old pictures next to its original. Really interesting to see how people change, get older or are still so similar to the day the picture was taken. And who knows maybe in 10 years a 3rd photo completes the series. A lot more images from this series at read more.

“I got back from Fame Festival in Southern Italy last week, after spending a few days making installations around the city. I made six in all, including a few that used miniature speakers and mp3 players to add sound. The one above had a speaker hidden in the drain that played sounds of screaming kids and splashing.” >> Read more

I met Bram De Ceurt a couple of weeks ago by one of the very newest ways to meet people… facebook… Maybe not the best way and I prefer a pub or a party to meet people but the point is that we met. I had a look at his website www.bramdeceurt.be He is photographer and painter and searches with both media for the erotic aspect of life.
I saw the work of Steve Locatelli for the first time a month ago at Artspace Leguit in Antwerp. For me, his artworks blew the work of other artists at that expo away. His colors are very brisk and his lines are very well placed. He knows what he wants and how to get it. http://www.locatellisteve.com >> Read more
Rotterdam-based photographer Ari Versluis and profiler Ellie Uyttenbroek have worked together since October 1994. Inspired by a shared interest in the striking dress codes of various social groups, they have systematically documented numerous identities over the last 14 years. Rotterdam’s heterogeneous, multicultural street scene remains a major source of inspiration for Ari Versluis and Ellie Uyttenbroek, although since 1998 they have also worked in cities abroad.
