Carnival Rejects Shoot

I made it out to east long island to photograph Samantha Rose for the second time. This girl is so fraking creative. From her clothing (that she designs herself!), to all her accessories everything just flows so well.

We tried to shoot in a local abandoned house, but it supposedly was burned down recently, so we decided to break into a local Halloween Horror House. It was perfect! Here are some of the final images : )

Boat Yard Photography

So I have been driving past this boat yard for years to go down to the local smoke spot, and I finally got a perfect model to use it.

After getting permission to shoot on the rusty old fixtures, Gabrielle and I had quite a crowd of male workers watching and saying hi. There was even a bird doing the "sexy" whistle.

After a while one of the guys asked if we wanted to shoot on a tugboat... so after grabbing her bikini, Gab and I got rowed onto a tugboat named Courtney. I really wish I had a video camera. I couldn't stop laughing.








I must also comment on the awesomeness of Gabrielle and I hanging out afterwards. There was pizza, debauchery of a pound of yummy italian cookies, and floating around in my pool. I love my Gabrielle <3

Pencil Sketch to Digital art : )

I always find myself drooling over digital art and wishing I had the time to do some myself. This week, I forced myself to take the 5 hours and complete this. The original sketch that I did with pencil on paper is my version of Helledonna's Ugliest Pet. Next.. im working on a small comic strip based on my main character from World of Warcraft!!!


Pencil on paper scanned to my mac...


All lines recreated by hand with the pen tool in Illustrator....


Adding color with the live paint bucket tool in Illustrator.


Background color added in Photoshop.

Iceland

So here are some of my favs from Iceland. What a beautiful place. I cannot wait to get back there and see more of it!

Baron Misuraca

Before I flood my blog with images from Iceland and Amsterdam... here are some captures from my shoot with Baron Misuraca. If you haven't already heard of his comic you should, so check it out HERE. I have read alot of comics in my day, and this is one of the best quality comics I have ever owned. Thank you Baron for by far the coolest, and earliest Halloween presents ever : )

ps you can also check out his site HERE

I'd rather be in Iceland!

Still recovering from my trip, Iceland was amazingly jaw dropping, and Amsterdam, well besides being a garbage dump, it was super entertaining. I will be updating with images over the next few days.

Eyjafjallajökull, the erupting volcano in Icleand right now. Hearing her rumble, and seeing ash clouds just pouring out faster than I could see was about the most exciting thing I have ever experienced. Thank you to our driver Oley, without his crazy driving, this image would not have been captured.
