An exploration through the fascinating and inventive possibilities of hair as material for artistic

expression. The fascinating beauty and inventive possibilities of hair are revolutionizing this

body-extending filament into one of the most attractive mediums for creative

experimentation in contemporary visual culture. Hair 'em Scare'em documents

this palpable trend into a visual sourcebook that presents a captivating collection

of hairy works in graphic design, photography, and illustration as well as interior

design, fashion, and jewelry design.

The examples in this book show the extraordinary use of hair as an intricately-

woven

material metamorphosing into body-extending sculptures, exquisite jewelry,

and fashion. It also features adorning hair as decorative elements, photography

projects such as humorous portraits of fashionably playful mustaches and

beard typography to otherworldly illustrations of long unruly locks of curls.

The included works in Hair 'em Scare'em are the best indication of trends in hair

outside the mainstream and celebrate hair as a starting point for artistic expression

by the finest talents in cutting-edge art and design.
