TM is a magazine about everything, anything and much more. It started off with a small thing, a word, a symbol, a number, an image, a very abstract concept. It may remain just this, or it may multiply and suggest countless alternative ways of escape.Trust me. Trust me or just what you see. It suggests without taking anything for sure. Trust me is a kaleidoscope that you can spin, turn, browse, read from left to right and vice versa. its parts do not have an imposed order by priority or importance, you can rip the pages and reorder them as you like.Trust me is a calibrated collection of ingredients that keep their own identity, but also give birth to a different taste every time. The editorial staff is redefined in every issue.

You can use this magazine in many ways: you can use it as a guide to creative realities around the world, You can close your eyes and not look at it, but if you trus it, you can flip it, choose a random page and start from there. You can fell inspired by its stories and the way they are told. You could use it to make construction paper, you can write down your impressions on it, or remove pages and cover walls of your room with them, you can use it to prevent your table shaking, to protect yourself against rain, to fill an empty space in your library, you can roll it and use it as a telescope and look inside. Trust me, or just what you see.

Dawn, 9.00

the morning requires a lot of choices. and a lot of self-control. I get up or sleep another 5 minutes? White T-shirt or gray one (the black is in the washing machine)?,bus or bikes? all bran with lots of fiber or Nutella croissant. Come what may, the morning is always a starting point. Since we imagined this project,we are also having dozens of choices to take. all kinds of choiches, and as a just awoken person, a bit groggy, we paused for hours on things wich were often of no importance. And when we recived the contributors’ submissions, other choices arrived,which? where? how? We just wanted to go back under the duvet and sleep another 5 minutes!The morning seems a good starting point, it sounds like a lucky title for something that we don’t really know what will become, but to wich we look at with much confidence. We chose the morning as an issue title becuse It is a totally subjective time condition.When does it start? how long is it? What happens before the start of the day?For someone morning means coming back home, for others it starts at 5.00 and for others still at eleven (lucky them). For someone it is the sound of the alarm, or the silence of the sleeping city. It’s connected to a series of rituals, mechanical but emotive at the same time. We could continue listing what we like so much of the morning, or what we like so much in general or draw a decalogue of what Trust Me is or is not. It’s quite common in a magazine. Well we do not want to, and maybe we don’t even know it. Let’s take our time! The only thing we know is that we like the magazine we have in our hands, we like the works that are in it, one by one, and all together. It’ s our, your, baby and we will take care of him! We hope you like reading it as much as we enjoyed doing it.

In the morning the air is fresh and the light is perfect to snap good photos.

Reading the story “Wilkie Fahnstock, The Boxed Set” in the short stories series”Demonology” by Rick Moody, I reflect how a playlist of songs could affect a period of our lives, a moment of the day, our job, our relationship with someone. When I was younger I created a special compilation tape for waking up. Thanks to these songs I got all the energy needed to dress up, wash myself,go out, do almot everything. Now that I have all the music on MP3, I struggle to make CDs, so I get always in a bad mood.Apart from these not very original memories, here for you is our own personal playlist of the best “good moody” songs dedicated to morning.

MINIMIAM www.minimiam.com contact(a)minimiam.com

Japanese Akiko Ida and French Pierre Javelle, the Minimiam duo, have combined their passion for food, art, design and photography, in a blend of charm. The preferred subjects of their photographs are playful miniature figures living in food landscapes so perfect that it all seems real. When you look at their photographs you’d like to be one of those thumbnail people so to drown in this sweet world.

BEN HANSEN www.benhansendesign.com/ [email protected]

Born in Austin, TX, Ben is a Graphic Designer with a sophisticated tasteand a clean style. In this issue of Trust Me we pre-sents some of his most bold works.Each work differs from the other as every detail inside it and ...together they capture us.

JOHANNES EKHOLM www.johannesekholm.com/ [email protected]

It’ll be the frost of Finland and the severe seasons which give at this illustrator and art director’s work such never granted shades.His works are flawless as geometric solid shapes, but they can suddenly fall apart,melt and become more human.

CHAD MOORE www.thesethingshappensometimes.com/ [email protected]

Chad Moore comes directly from NY. Chad’s photos aesthetics is not related to the compositionor to a specific technique, rather it is the content that makes every imageinteresting. Each shoot is full of youth and repre-sents boys having fun, hanging around the city at any time of day or night, which seem to participate actively in every single snap.

CASIA BROMBERG www.casiabromberg.carbonmade.com [email protected] She’s a Swedish photographer in Stockholm.For most of her time, she deals with artistic photography but she is also working as a freelance photographer, doing a lot of diffe-rent things with a particular eye for portraits.For the moment she’s also a student at Fotohögskolan.

MICHELLE HAMMENFELDT www.michellehammenfeldt.com/ MICHELLEHAMMENFELDT(a)gmail.com

In the “Laurie Wilson” project, Michelle has designed and tried to understand the life of a stranger through items that belonged to Laurie.She creates very delicate crayon drawings, but full of detail. She is obsessed with movies,TV and Google. She’s inspired by everything that is on the web (so everything that exists?). And we do more o less the same thing.

CHARLIE ENGMAN www.flickr.com/photos/cengman [email protected]

Currently located in Chicago, Charlie Engman photographs details that can not be missed out. The result is attractive, in every shoot there is a misterious and romantic atmosphere.He is an unpredictable photographer, he always prefers to leave some elements to chance, and thisfreedom allows him to create striking compositionsWe are pleased to have been able to publish his pics full of color and real life.

FRANCESCA UNGOLO www.behance.net/francescaungolo [email protected]

Born in Mola di Bari 24 years ago, she was attracted by art since she was a toddler. She has a thin stroke, which leaves out no details. We really like her portraits ‘cause she can take with few lines a person’s look.We haven’t had the occasion to know her as a painter yet, but her illustrations are full of meanings and they can put us in a good mood

CLAIRE SLOAN www.clairesloanphotography.com [email protected]

Born 19 years ago in Northern California, USA. thanks to her 35mm and her enthusiasm she immortalizes precious moments that would otherwise be inevitably lost. She’s studying art at UCDavis. Her work consists in a documentation of people and places that She just cannot and would never forget.

ANDRE’ PINCES pincesphoto.blogspot.com/ [email protected]

Canadian photographer from Vancouver.He mainly deals with fashion and commercialphotography. Photographs of always surprising light.

DEBBIE CARLOS www.debbiecarlos.com [email protected]

Born in LA, now living in Chicago. we like her pics because seems unpretentious, but they hide real revelations! She uses photography as an instrument of artistic experimentation,She goes to the images boundaries, deforming it.She does not like sharp images but focuses on their grain and imperfections created by time.

MICHELE GUIDARINI www.micheleguidarini.com [email protected]

He says of himself: “I am the son of a mountain, Mount Amiata and two pastry chefs. I am the son of David Lazzaretti and the Clash. The characters in my pictures walk in my mind and through my dreams. I catch them, I must not run away,and I lock them up in gold frames. They reflect me, but look like you. They look at me, look at you. Of his drawings and various works his spontaneity and “naive”freshness hit us.

KAGAMI SHINOHARA しのはら かがみ www.kagamishinohara.com [email protected]

Born in Nagano, Japan. She likes mushrooms,but not mayonnaise. She uses an insecure stroke to rapresent, with un-settling precision, what her immagination suggests her.She tells us about herself “The street where my family still lives is a bit insane. Almost every family have a same surname Shinohara. There is not enough entertainment in the town so everyone tends to concentrate on two big own interests – 1.growing up the newest vegetables to show off to everyone. 2.talking gossip about other Shinohara and spy each other.”

DANI BEMBIBRE BELDA www.danielbembibre.com [email protected]

talking to meDesigner & art director from Barcelona. He loves strongly desaturated colors and unlikely shapes. His passions are LP covers, which he designs for some independent labels. His editorial projects are not only layouts, not only type or copywriting.Ex: Put Things in Order, editorial manifest: ironic & animistic.sorry for the noise

BOEY CHEEMING www.iamboey.com [email protected]

His apartment is full of white disposable cups decorated with waves, fish and birds, scenes of spaghetti shops, glimpses of life in Malaysia, San Francisco and now Orange County. Polystyrene is inconsistent, but it is strong at the same time, it does not break when dropped.The first cup has been designed in a small cafeteria. He sat downbut had no paper with him, so he grabbed a cup and began to draw on it. Suddenly, a bulb lit in his head.

ANDREW THOMAS TYSON www.andrewtyson.com [email protected]

Soft and sensual, Andrew’s pics portray girls who know they are being portrayed and showa sincere and very feminine feeling. In almost every picture the subjects look straightto the camera and therefore in our eyes.So who is spying on who?

Cheeming Boey

Foam cupsStyrofoam coffee cups. Everyone has picked at least one up, resulting scalded tongues and nibbled edges. For Cheeming Boey, the styrofoam cup is a starting point, a blank canvas, a surface to be filled with.lines In the blog A Cup of Sharpie we have read how this passion was born by chance in a cafe (where else?), where without sheets of paper Boey used a cup as a scratch pad. Since then he has experimented with different media and styles, transforming (recycling) every cup in a work of artSometimes tattooing a cup takes even months, the ma-jor sources of inspiration for him, are: dining with friends and the japanese artist Hokusai.The polystyrene cup is cheap, is pop, is disposable, it could be the symbol of this century.The cup is also an object on which the ballpoint pen sinks and which absorbs in a unique way the mar-

ker’s color. Often we only con-sider art what is on canvas or on paper, Boey instead thinks that also imperfect, non-special items could be beautiful and suggestive.

And in the end if some cups have not come as you wanted, you can always use them for a coffee and then throw them away. Like everyone does.

LA PRIMA SIGARETTA

by Massimo Cipriani

He had a strange habit. In the evening, just before sleeping,he carefully chose a cigarette.He looked for it in the package,He weighed it, and he checked the perfection of its shape.Then, accurately,He marked near the chosen cigarette’s tip: PS... And he gentrly placed it on the bedside table.They slept nearby. In the morning it was like receiving a precious gift:he fire his Prima Sigaretta, his first cigarette and the day looked better.

‘Never as tired as when i’m waking up’The title is in reference to an LCD soundsystem song.

The idea is to illustrate the feeling you have when you’re about to wake up, the moment beetween sleep, dream and the start of your everyday life.

“In The Morning”The series hold a balance, representing the continuity of the life of time.

For example, in 6 AM, the picture of the left was taken in Candidasa, while on the right in Lovina. Different days, different places, different mornings, but in the same time, there is a line keeps attaching, a dot that keeps connecting from one morning to another, and will continue repeating - maybe it will slowly

evolving - but the same pattern appears.I’m just saying that time never kills (memories, broken hearts, hatred, love), as days passing by, i

t’s us people who does. :)All the pictures are taken in Bali mornings.

we’re at ILULISSAT / GREENLAND / 2008 Ilulissat is a city of small colorful houses. Ilulissat (or Jakobshavn) is a village of 4.533 inhabitants on Disko Bay, in Greenland, it’s part of the municipality of Qaasuitsup, whose name in Kalaallisut (Greenlandic language) means iceberg. This is a very appropriate name, given thatin this area enormous icebergs break off from the Sermeq Kujalleq (orIcecap) glacier, 5 km wide and of unknown thickness, the largest glacier in the worldbesides Antarctica. Most of the icebergs then stop in the Kangia fjord, one of the tourist actractions of the country.Ilulissat is made up of small colorful houses, the cemetery is a large pile ofstones, from which every now and then old bodies leap out.It is an interesting turistic center: beyond the frozen fjord, 1,5 kn away from the old heliport, there are trails for hikers marked by mounds of stones: one for the ruins of Sermermiut Holms and Bakke,, where on the 13th of January the locals meet up to Welcome back the sun, another one for Vandsøen and another one for Akinnaq.

Joel’s pictures are motionless like the moments he portrays.

We are publishing him on Trust Me # 1_morning issue because he describes a place floating in the icy seas of Greenland, where the morning never ends. It Seems like being there looking at the white and flat light that touches these lands, it seems to be there with frozen cheeks.

MELANIE BILENKER www.melaniebilenker.com [email protected]

Each one has his quirks, you know, but sewing hair with meticulous precision, we had not seen yet. The creation of an involving settlement caracterizes all her visual work. Each piece isa moment frozen in time, captured by an unusual and intimate point of view.The surprising thing is that these miniature paintings are made by gold, silver, ebony, resin, pigments and hair!

PICTURES & CO./ Julie&Roxanne www.picturesandco.tv [email protected]

First of all Pictures and co. are two girls (like us),they are friends (like us), they are 25 (almost like us) and French. They take sensitive and poetic pictures, photographic stories and very intimate portraits services, much more than a fashion photo session. They contribute to indie music magazines (the rodeo), and They have portrayed, among others, Soko and lisa li lund.Pictures and co. take pictures in nature, on the beaches and forests, with the early morning light, and we love the photos they snap.Welcome to Lalaland.

NORAN BAKRIE www.noranbakrie.com [email protected]

Since She got lost in a supermarket when she was 7 and She was attacked by a rhinoceros when she was 8, Noran, decided that her life could be interesting enough to be told, She is a designer, a photographer, an illustrator, She has impressed us for dreamlike atmospheres, mellow colors and the strong autobiographical style that characterizes everything she does.

JOSHUA LONGO www.longoland.com [email protected]

Graduated in industrial design at Pratt Institute, NY (where he teaches now), Joshua is a little ob-sessed with monsters and comics heroes. The work of Joshua moves from 2nd to 3rd dimensions: pictures, books, sculptures, furniture. He portrays the people he meets on the subway, he composes music and when he grows up he wants to be-come a motivator. He lives in Brooklyn, NY, with his girlfriend and his dog.

TANIA LESHKINA http://leshkina.com/ [email protected] One of the projects showed on Tania Lekshina’s web-site is entitled “Balance”, it consists in a series of selfportraits snapped in different places and at many different times of the day.Tania takes pictures of herself, She snaps pictures of her room, She takes pictures of her mother in the snow. Tania, defines herself a white maniac, she shoots everything that crosses her mind.19 years old, born in Russia, based in England, Simple, straightforward, immediate and brilliant,

JAKE LONGSTRETH www.jakelongstreth.com [email protected]

If I were to imagine Jake Longstreth painting, I imagine him getting up early in the morning, running through the streets even when there is no one around, until he finds his perfect subject.Jack Longstreth paints neutral landscapes, highly humanized but lacking the human element.They are those kind of places where you’d like to hide when you don’t want to talk to anyone, but from wich you would be afraid of not coming back.

JOEL TETTAMANTI www.tettamanti.ch [email protected]

Joel Tettamanti born in Cameroon 32 years ago, but of Swiss origin. He has been in places where our imagination does not reach, and his pictures have helped to create and enrich it. The places mentio-ned are silent, often covered with snow, but not soulless. Looking at his pics you can always catch an element of disorder, a point of light, a sign of everydaylife, which tells us there is life over the-re. He is a good storyteller.Peek into his website, with no words, without explanations, it has also left us wordless.

GERMAN PALEY www.flickr.com/people/germanpaley/ [email protected]

German Paley is an Argentinian photographer, but first of all we must say that he is one of those people who we met at the beginning of our projectand he was so friendly and enthusiastic that he really gave us a great desire to continue with this magazine.We immediately liked him because in his analogue photos we can always see the grain:rough, lived, imperfect.

EVA RODBRO www.evarodbro.com [email protected]

Ok we must confess, we have contacted Eva just because we had seen her reportage about teens from Greenland, and we found her pictures so raw and sweet at the same time that we wanted to know her. Secondarily we found intriguing that she had given voice to such a huge country wich nobody really knows, that she had studied at Rietvelt, Amster-dam and that she was about to go on a photographic project in Texas.

HEIKO MULLER www.heikomueller.de/ [email protected]

Heiko, from Hamburg, sometimes he is so hyper that seems a Flemish painter,sometimes so unsettling and fantastic that he seems a mix between a fairy tales book and noir comic.He mixes mutant animals, werewolves birds, demiurges bears, with scenes of religious rituals, superstitions and fights.Heiko’s creatures are a bit ‘scared, but perhaps should not be taken too seriously.

ELLA MAY BAILEY flickr.com/photos/tiptoethroughthesunbeams/ [email protected]

Ella May photographs mostly Ella May, She lives in a fairy world made of rarefied atmospheres, of walks in the woods, of meadows and old typewri-ters. However Ella is not the typical girl who is photographing her feet and has a slightely naive photoblog.She carefully prepares every shoot, looking for the right light, the right environment, until it’s perfect. She doesn’t consider her shoo-ting self portraits, she chooses to shoot helself just because she can self-discipline herself and take her time.

JESSICA JOAN DELORME jessicadelorme.carbonmade.com [email protected]

Anxiety, monotony, femininity are just some of the topics developed on Jessica’s canvas. The composi-tion is blurred, almost abstract. She creates her paintings layer by layer, in an aggressive and very physical way, which seems about to reach the third dimension.

STINA LOFGREN www.stinalofgren.com [email protected]

Illustrator, printer, graphic designer, born 29 years ago in Vilhelmina in the cold Swedish Lapland, She lives and works in Stockholm.Handmade, tactile, humorous and clever these are the things that affect and inspire Stina’s artistic production. Each illustration is a challenge, every project can’t be said to have been done before.

BREE APPERLEY http://breeapperley.com/ [email protected]

Bree is an artist who has done just about everything. She produces really pop pictures, she designs patterns, edits small pubblications, has worked as fashion illustrator and floral designer (and this is just a small part the things we have seen on her portfolio). Her personal website seems to come directly from the 90s, full of lo-res images and fluorescent colors.

GABRIELA VAINSENCHER gabrielavainsencher.blogspot.com/ [email protected]

She speaks three languages and She feels like the result of three different cultures.Gabriela is primarily an illustrator, She draws and paints mainly on paper, but also on different media. She often accompanies her works with texts, reflections, wordplays. Text becomes integral part of her works of art. As in a diary gabriela shows, transformed, reinterpreted in an introspective way, all that is happening to her.

RACHEL DENNY www.racheldenny.com

Rachel is fascinated by nature and materials. She finds natural shapes elegant and unexpected.She loves the exuberance of nature and how it is capable of upsetting our daily lives. A deer in the city, a family of hawks in a park near home are the evidences of contact with another world that can surprise and enrich our imagination.In her workshop she creates a “comfortable domestic art”, in which the tactile experience is as important as visual perception.
