I will have three framed pieces at 111 Minna Gallery this month. This should be a huge event filled with the work from a very eclectic group of artists. Gringo will be selling limited addition silk screened posters of the design below. Conder will have a full on dragster inside the gallery. Jason Jessee will be showing a bike plus his “Patriot Act friendly” luggage, designed exclusively for domestic travel. A must see.

Opening Reception: Thursday July 3rd. 6pm

I got a call at the last minute from a young couple in New York who liked my work and asked me to shoot their wedding in Columbia, CA. These are the types of clients you want. Someone who respects your vision. Someone who really appreciates your efforts. Someone who pays on time (in advance). No need to chase down payment 60 days after the shoot. Easy gig.

Is it stressful? Not really. Read the rest of this entry »
