Tobin Yelland -self promo piece
March 20, 2008 by trevorgraves
If you have not had the good fortune of receiving one of Tobin’s promo posters, I can only share with you in 72 dpi, the coolness of the treat. A quick description here. The paper is trimmed out at 24×16, a recycled flavor, the quality of the ink feels like that of early Xerox machines. It is printed two-sided, one color. There is something tactile about receiving a physical piece of art via the mail. It goes in another part of the brain and has more importance. Tobin is well know for his photography in Beautiful Losers. The film uses genuine story telling of skater types and artisans. His sensability is to find the beauty in the dark and sometimes hard life that surrounds him.
Tobin currently lives in New York City. His photos can be seen at www.tobinyelland.com.
