Sorry I've been inactive here for a while, I've taken a break from things online and technology and I've been focusing on some real-life goals and things I've needed to get done. I sold my studio building and paid of most of my legal expenses. I've been selling things off, cleaning house, and packing and preparing for my move to LA. I moved into a temporary location and moving the office and "control center" of RAID servers and workstations was more of a task than expected... been doing some upgrades and rethinking my approach to a lot of what I've been doing. I finally replaced my stolen 5d with a 5dII but I've not shot anything in months. I'll be back soon, please stay tuned - and have a safe and Happy Holiday!
Today I completed the peice I'm doing for the Wunderland 2009 (aka Baby Tattooville) attendees. We'll be releasing 40 signed and numbered editions.
Wunderland 2009 (Baby Tattooville) was the annual weekend art event
sponsored by Baby Tattoo Books, a dream made real by Bob Self. It was an amazing time - for more info
on the event checkout the website www.babytattooville.com. The photo below was shot at the historic Mission Inn in Riverside,CA while many of the particpants and attendees observed. The model is Sarah Taylor aka Radiator Squaw Foxtrot. Special thanks to Jill for her help with the styling.
I had a chance hang out with the other artists listed in the previous
post and particiapted in a gallery show at the Riverside Museum.
Some candids from the afterpartys can be seen HERE.
I managed to go an entire weekend without wearing a lampshade on my
head, though there are rumors of me doing a shot of Jack Daniels off a
girl's bum while Hussar was sketching. I am not confirming or denying
these allegations.

A really bad phonecam video interview from Obscura in Philadelphia last month. We discuss such riveting topics as our love for Scar13, a book that can't be found, my upcoming book and site, Asphyxia's involvement in both, and some jibberish in need of translating and subtitles.
I'd been up and in transit for an entire day when Jade Vixen came in from NYC the night before to shoot so I was running on fumes - I look like I have two black eyes.
SG Amina Munster: "I have had the pleasure of working with him, and the shoot ended up producing a magazine cover. One image appeared on the front of the Las Vegas Review Journal and a series of other images appeared on A&E. All this from one shoot. Highly Recommended."
