david lynch by day 19
From www.day19.com; So here’s a portrait we did of director David Lynch. This was shot for the icon issue of the now defunct project of Shepard Fairey and Roger Gastman called Swindle Magazine. We were told we had no more than 30 minutes with Mr. Lynch, not because he was a diva or anything but that he can’t handle doing one thing longer than 30 minutes apparently. We decided to shoot...

proper man
Quercus Books is releasing a 296-page volume on Anderson & Sheppard this October. It’s titled A Style is Born, and looks to be very promising.

hell of a site
Matthew Newton and his “Annals of Americus” has become a steady website for me- more smart content, less bullshit product PR crap- and I happily recommend the site and his writings to everyone I come across. In a weird round-about way this is a like a multi layered cross post to something else though- entitled” Joe Carducci on the price of Cheese” – if you dig music and smart writing, go read...

In what has become a significant creative project,as well as a lot of fun, I embarked on this series of profiles for a simple reason; some things are too good not to share. Each of the people featured were selected because they stand out to me. They are not the only ones who do, and they don’t stand out for the same reasons, but their stories are strong. They are people who have done...
