Art For Life

For my second fashion shoot in 4 years, I couldn't be happier.

My thanks to designer, Josef Cechota; Rockstar, Charlie One (from Ohm Sqaure); Makeup artist, Katka,; and everyone else who chipped in.

Calendar launch, photography auction, and ensuing party: November 4th at the Globe, Prague.

Laughter and Forgetting, Prague 2009

So, the first LAF exhibition has come and gone.

Under the wide wings of Forum 2000, Martina and her LAF crew of artists and volenteers, managed to to create something that has cleverly placed itself in Czech history.

If your interested in a rather eclectic snapshot of post soviet Czech Republic seen through the eyes of a motley list of photographers, check it out... www.lafproject.org

I thank them for including me, and look quite forward to see how it develops from here.

International Photography Awards

Just a quick but happy note to say that, thanks to Martina’s encouragement and support, my work has been chosen 3rd in the internationally recognized International Photography Awards’ 2009 Fine Art: Abstract Pro category.

(Pretty cool considering that this year the IPA had received an unprecedented 18,000 submissions spanning 104 countries.)

I may still be far from where I would like to be with my art, but affirmations like this feel good in knowing that perhaps I am on the right track.

Spring has Sprung!

Kutiman - YouTube Alchymist

http://thru-you.com

Low-fi new-generation Israeli beat-master cuts and pastes raw gems of obscure YouTube videos and polishes them with an eclectic shine in the light of predecessors from Mozart to Marley and Moby.

Be quick though. Copyright debates have run rampant since this blew up last month, and it already appears that some of the videos have been removed from YouTube.

Personal faves: 3.I'm New, 7.Just a Lady, and 2.This is What it Became

If you hear a squishing sound at any point, I don't think it's a YouTube sample as much as it is the sound of record companies shitting their pants.

Kutiman, bravo brother.

S Magazine

Found an AMAZING magazine yesterday through a rather random email from a girl in Toronto. (Thanks Amanda!)

If you like your sex served with style, you simply have to check it out: http://www.spublication.com

The homage to original fashion pervs Helmut Newton and Terry Richardson is about as subtle as a double-page full-frontal crotch shot….. neatly trimmed, of course.

If this makes absolutely no sense to you, think Italian Vogue meets Playboy.

Gotta love those Danes.
