Back to Chicago
I had the amazing opportunity to go to Chicago and photograph a friends wedding a couple weeks ago. It was my first time shooting a wedding and it surprisingly went better than I expected. I can't wait to share the rest of the photos!
Ice Cream themed!
Make sure to stop by the "It's All Black and White" Art Show May 28th @ X-Large L.A. I've been taking new photos for the show, all ice cream themed :)
You read right.
The Hundreds X Garfield
Last night was The Hundreds x Garfield Art Show at the Pop Up Shop in Santa Monica. The illustrator/creator of Garfield, Jim Davis, was present signing limited edition prints all night. The event was full of amazing Garfield inspired art work. The Hundreds did an amazing job with the collaboration. Garfield himself was present AND delicious lasagna was provided. It was a fun evening surrounded with great people. Congrats to everyone who contributed to this project.
