While shooting a portrait of graffiti artist/illustrator, Tony Bones, in a Dallas warehouse we found dozens of these pristine, rippled-glass sheets original to the building. They were HEAVY, but beautiful. The owners are renovating the warehouse at 800 Jackson St in Dallas. These and other original pieces – elevator motors, a Coke advertisement painted on the neighboring brick exterior…will be salvaged and used in the new design.

One of my favorite photographers
I would never trade my new photo/design life for my old design/design life, but I do miss shooting with different photographers. Over the years I’ve shot with some amazing photographers across the globe. Many have influenced my design, photography and certainly my scope of thinking. One of my favorites is Dutch photographer, Thijs Wolzak. Instead of giving my own voice over – take a minute to run through his site: www.wolzak.nl. We’ve worked on quite a few projects together – and toured a good number of America’s b-list cities…
Controversial or not, I very much enjoyed my time with Karen (and this portrait)
I made this portrait of Karin Adrian Von Roques in the summer of 2009. You can read more about her at Global Art and the Museum. Here are some lecture outtakes. http://globalartmuseum.de/site/mp3player/250555025663.mp3, http://globalartmuseum.de/site/mp3player/792176404829.mp3, http://globalartmuseum.de/site/mp3player/448499707541.mp3
Yeohlee at the Crow
With fashion week in full swing, I decided to dig up some images from Yeohlee Teng’s Fall 2009 exhibition at the Crow Collection. While we only had a few minutes to makethe portrait, but I enjoyed the better part of day day with Yeohlee and her staff. Here’s a quick sampling of images from the exhibition.
