Michael Hussar, White: A Decade, book signing and party.

This past weekend I got the opportunity to photograph artist Michael Hussar’s book signing for “White: A Decade” at the awesome Studio Servitu in Los Angeles, California. The event was great, and being an admirer of Michael’s work for some years now, it was amazing to finally get a chance to come face to face with his work, and the man behind it. What struck me first, aside from how beautiful these pieces are, was the size, these were somewhere in the neighborhood of around 4-8ft by 6-10ft in size, definitely awe inspiring. The party and reception was a blast, with a good number of great guests, including Kat Von D, and members from a good number of bands, including Vampires Everywhere. One of the highlights of the night was Michael’s live painting demonstration, in which he created a portrait of the beautiful Miss Crash. To top it off, after the guests had left for the evening, I got to have a drink and a talk with Michael himself, which was a great way to end the night. A special thanks to Michael, Jane, Crash and the ladies and gents of Studio Servitu for a wonderful and inspiring evening, hope to do it again soon! And, if you haven’t yet, be sure to check out Michael’s work, and his new book.

The Stars Are Maligned 11-11-11 Event Article.

I had a chance to cover an event at Studio Servitu last week in Los Angeles. The event was a gallery showing for the art and work of Nick Kushner, Rudy Coby, and Anthony Silva. If you are unfamiliar with any of these artist I urge you to click the links and take a look, some amazing talent all around. Lip Service was one of the great sponsors of the evening, and just posted an article about the night featuring some of the photos we took, give it a look HERE. Some great guests were in attendance, including Marilyn Manson and Janice Dickinson. A big thank you to Jaysen Turner as well, without him it would have been impossible to cover all the goings on of the evening. The photographs will be posted in a gallery online soon, so attendees can grab the shots they are in.
