Book Get: T&T&A (Probably NSFW)
I love shit like this. Some dude (Tony Stamolis, a pretty big deal) figured out how to:
a) take photos of ladies, most of the time naked.
b) eat a bunch of tacos.
c) put it all together and get it made as an ‘art book’: T&T&A.
d) have it not be porn. It’s either a super-racy food book, or a really tame nudie book.
Awesome. And the best part?
Far as I can tell, it’s completely devoid of any sort of high-minded manifesto, mission statement, or preface. Just some girls with they thangs out. And tacos. Period. I was at the doctor’s office the other day and there were a bunch of big framed photos of, like, leaves and snow and leaves in the snow, and I was fine with it. But then—THEN!—I saw another frame—as big as the actual images—that contained the artist’s mission statement. There was a line in there that more or less went like ‘I explore texture. I find texture in almost everything…’
No fucking Duh. What—in the world—would you NOT find texture in? Are you from inside of Asteroids? Maybe then. But only then.
Anyway. This is not about that. It’s about showing you photos of a book of photos of girls and food. Probably NSFW, which is why there are more photos after the jump. If you get caught, just say it’s art.
T&T&A is available now via Sump books. I ordered mine and it came signed, which I thought was a pretty neat bonus.

I hope you’re right about this book not having an agenda to push. The juxtaposition of a hot babe and a delicious Mexican meal is not something I want to try to interpret.
Looks like a great coffee table reader.
