meet my friend Summer

Hey no pictures?

I have a lot of pics of summer but I really want you to visit her site instead of hanging around here.

I did this shoot a little while ago with my good friend Summer, she is a fashionista and was/is a very talented designer as well. She has worked for all of the top names, and you might even be wearing something she designed right now.

Anyway she is stepping out on her own and started a personal styling business.
Lucky for me she is my friend and will be helping me out. I sure need it.
Although after all the press she is getting lately I might have to be patient and get in line.

Check it out!
I rocked all of the photos on there. She rocked the style.

Her blog is also helpful. And popular.

Ok just one.

Meet Summer

Meet my friend Joe

For me he is one of the most talented artists I know in real life. I mean I know there are great artists, but I can eat dinner with Joe. That is when he invites me over which lately with his new baby boy has been a while. I also get to call Joe one of my best friends. I haven't met anyone who can draw with their opposite right hand (he is lefty) using a mouse and just nail the art first try. That's just one of many things, the list is long. His talents are multifaceted. He can do anything beyond well, and when he focuses on it for more than a month, well then its just amazing.

I actually have a really talented group of friends, I am so lucky. Its really one of the driving reasons I made it to where I am now. Having all of them to draw from. I am so lucky.

So last night I had the honor of being invited over for some amazing clams and some shrimp and pasta (he is also a world class chef) and of course some amazing Longboard Syrah.
After dinner we headed into his garage to "make art"
Of course I watched, I cannot "make art"
He has been stenciling for a while but he has had a resurgence now that he as found a lamp for his garage, and his son sleeps nicely now without the need for constant vigil.

Here is "the garage" setup

The tool box

the workbench

the artist at work

the testing wall, and spray can check

close to finished

quality control

trim to fit

SO there you have it. Joe is having a gallery show in Bridgeport Connecticut this friday the 5th.

I highly recommend you come and pick up some art. The pieces are really going to be fantastically awesome. Some pieces of course are just outrageous and I have to have them. I have lots of Joe art all over my house. I am really lucky.

You can be lucky too.

Dawn and Relentless

Hey its been a non stop couple of months with so much to write about and no time.
I will do up this one because its hot.
Last Friday/Saturday for a massive amount of hours and at an unhealthy hour I was shooting a new clothing company catalog. Also did some behind the scenes stuff for the record. Friday ended at 2am and I was one of the lucky ones who got to sleep till 7am ish the next day. I was unlucky though because I then had to stand in 20 degree weather for about 5 hours shooting some climbing stuff for the site.

Check it out, they are planning to launch this black friday so keep your eye locked for it.

Dawn and Relentless

Hey everyone!

SO we are heading for Hatteras NC for a super intimate awesome wedding.
I am beyond blessed and humbled that I was chosen.
You can call and email me, just wont be able to see you in person until monday.

I am going to be facebooking a bunch so check it out.

I am cram packed with things to do, I will be taking a meeting on the way down to eventually solidify the entire look here. Some of you have seen and used some of the new features and I am hoping to tie it all together soon.

October is going to be my busiest month.
November is looking to be my quietest (getting some climbing trips in hopefully)
December I have a wedding that is just going to be ridiculous (in a really good way) I cannot wait for that one.

See Ya!
