I'm Back from Vegas, and remarkably, I survived the insanity. I was out there for the Magic Fashion tradeshow. I've been out for the show numerous times and its always pretty hectic. Lots of parties, lots of booze and pretty much no sleep. I've been pretty much on a non stop travel extravaganza for work. I don't think I've spent a full week home for the past three months. But I am happy now that I can hang out at home and recover from this nonsense.

While perusing the show I noticed the Franco Shade guys featuring their latest ad with yours truly in it
Which was really cool and right by the candy where it should be. A while ago I told Arlo that The Franco stuff needed to look more gay. He looked at me quite puzzled, I said that the stuff looked kind of gay, and if they were going that way they should go all the way and make tank tops. Well, out of my fustration, I went out and made my own gay tank tops so I can now rock Franco gear the way it was ment to be, with pride!

While in Vegas I went to at least 15 or so parties in a 4 day period, I think I lost a bit of my mind there. I don't recall as much as I should, I am still sick from it, and I know I will be back there sooner than I would like to be. Mike from Fakerich and Dim Mak
put on a pretty rad party, the first night, Mike always seems to snap off pics at the right time. Anyway, go buy a copy of the new Antenna Magazine and check out the first ad I've ever been in, don't forget to thank Arlo for getting me involved with that one.

Here is our most recent ad for Triumvir that's featured in the latest issue of Antenna Magazine. This is probably our most ambitious and probably my most favorite to date. I mainly worked on the art direction on this one where Ray pretty much did all the hard work. Kind of nice for a change. The guys over at Joy Engine did a really awesome post on this one for us. Way nicer and better than I could do. I really need to flex my blogging muscles a little more. Anyway the next installment of this one is going to be nuts, I can't wait.

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.

I recently shot an ad for the boys over at Franco Shade featuring film director Paul Allen Coy, who I actually just shot recently for an interview he was featured in on their website. It a pretty cool for Paul to come down for the shoot. Apprently there was tons of traffic on the freeway, it was taking people up to hours longer to get the the warehouse than normal. I was fortunate to be in the area chill'in with all the guys from Torsion going over the plans for their fall/holiday ad shoot. I'm reallu happy that Arlo and I are teaming up on this next series of Franco Shade ads, I think people are really going to like them, the concepts are really fun, and so far everyone is digging all the ideas that we have for them. The ads are going to be featured in a new magazine called Antenna that I have been hearing tons of good things about. I saw their first issue, and I was really really into it. So I am pretty happy that at least some of my work will be in it, even if it is for an ad. (Hopefully they are reading this, and they like my work and will get me to do stuff for them)
