So I recently was connected to this new brand called Imaginary Kingdom through an old friend and superstar sales rep, Chris Ngo who took them on as an account. He thought I could help give the brand a much needed little extra push right before the magic trade show. These guys are really funny and great. I have some pretty big plans for these guys. This is the first of three images that I am producing for them. Which appeared in the most recent issue of Vapors.

I believe this add should be out now, I'll have to go pick up the latest issue of Vapors or something like that. Triumvir has been running my ads pretty hard lately, I seriously love all those guys, even though, I think they smoke so much that I can't believe they remember my name sometimes.

I just got wind of the new Triumvir X 530 Media Lab collabo, that looks pretty promising. Next year with this two is already looking pretty crazy. The next slew are defiantly going to be the kind that are going to be really something that will be enduring, but worth it in the end.

A bunch of ads that I worked on just dropped this month. I think I have some in Alternative Press, Vapors, BPM, and Antenna. I'm sure there are more, but those are the ones that come to mind.

Well, here it is! the Triumvir Lion Parka. I've seen it around their office for months and months. I wasn't suer they were going to make it, but apparently they are selling like hot cakes! I can't wait to get mine. I recently shot these of photos of Julia for some ads that they have coming out in the next issue of Vapors, Antenna, and a few other publications. I really like the pic that I shot in the red coat. I've noticed that since the East pack shoot, I have been shooting a bit differently and really enjoying my work more. I can't really put my figure on it, but I feel good, which is kind of a change for me. Generally when I shoot I get really really nervous, even if I have done the same type of shot a thousand time before, but now, I really am honestly enjoying the moment, it's weird, but I feel like I am really growing. I always feel good and I think I do a great job when I shoot, but I always get these jitters inside that make me triple check everything, I still check everything, but now I do it with a smile on my face. Anyway, things are good and I am really happy about these new ads I am doing. Triumvir is also making this pretty amazing piece I like to call the hobbit cloak that should be coming out quite soon as well, but Brandon will not let me shoot ads featuring this coat, because he knows that I would try to reenact a scene from lord of the rings with that one. I'll defiantly be slaying the beasts in that one when it comes out.

So actually went out tonite and actually had a pretty good time. I had a pretty greatt dinner over at the Bellagio with the Triumvir guys. We had the buffet, I know buffet's are all about the variety, but this one had tons and tons of different things. Everything was pretty good, but I would defiantly stay away from the buffalo meat. I found it to be really dry and tough. I was really into the desserts they had.












After that I made my way over to Jet, where they had the Vapors BPM party which was pretty cool, till one of my friends couldn't get in, so I decided to take off, because they were being pretty lame at the front door.

After that I met up with the Franco Shade dudes at the Hard Rock where Joe basically was giving every one gambling lessons. That only lasted for a while, and then we headed off to the Franco Shade Sky Loft at the MGM Grand. which was pretty amazing. This was really the greatest hotel room I have ever been in. The pictures I took of it really can't do it justice, and I really really wish I would have shot more. It had a kitchen, pool table, crazy bath tubs, a bar, and pretty much a flat screen television on every flat surface in the place. I really need to come back to this place one of these days when I can actually afford to do it. I think it is actually larger than my house come to think of it. I think I want to cry, I never should have left and I think Tue from Franco Shade is about to have the best nite of his life... or maybe the worst.

So I was perusing the interweb today, and I stumbled upon this flyer for the upcoming Pony and Vapors party at ASR, with Flosstradamus, Stretch Armstrong, and DJ Fashen. I shot these pics for my buddy Colin at Pony a while back, so it was pretty cool to see that they are using them for this, But what is really funny about this, is that the red,white and blue kicks in the photos are the actual shoe that I am wearing right now.

I've been talking to the guys over at 530 media lab for quite some time now. We are currently working on a pretty large scale project right now for my pals over at triumvir which should be coming out pretty soon now. Triumvir has these shirts coming out with some images that pin up artist Gil Elgren did which is pretty cool. I thought it was really cool of those guys to actually go get a license to reproduce his work than stealing the images that other people produce like alot of companies do. I've always loved Elgren's work, a really awesome girl I dated a long time ago turned me onto his work. She was really into it, she even worked at Ruby's Diner and drove a really cool old car.

Any way, 530 and I have been talking about alot of cool possibilites for the future and hopefully we'll be working alot more together.

I did some photos last week of Dingo, Home Wreck, Eero Neimela, and Bozung of the Neff Headware, Snow team that are going to be part of their next ad campaign. I believe that these are getting run in the next issue of Transworld . The shoot went really well dispite it being super hot. Dingo was really good sport about being all wrapped up in a hoody and mask for the shoot in all of the heat. I even got a few shots of Neff and Bozung together during the shoot that were pretty funny. This next campaign with them is going to be pretty crazy and they are pulling in some pretty rad people in for the next shoot.

In the latest issue of Vapors I've got that image of Jeremy Kove that I shot a while back which is pretty cool. I really dig what they do over at that mag, and Maurice the editor is a pretty cool guy. We've met a number of times, but have never really been able to do anything together, but I happened to meet Jeremy at an art show through Kelsey Brookes , who asked if I would shoot him for the mag. It's kind of weird how things work out like that
