At least for the moment.

Hard Art DC 1979 is a photo show by Lucien Perkins that I donated some money to via Kickstarter a while ago. The show is insanely important to me because it features some of the first images of punk rock photography that really inspired me to become a photographer. It also features a lot of images of the band Trenchmouth that was fronted by my best friends brother Charlie Danbury. Charlie was my closest connection to the early 80’s DC punk scene which impacted my life in such a serious way as a teenager.
Over Christmas I went down to check out the Hard Art show in DC and I met the Danbury family down there. Alec MacKaye met us down there. He is featured in the images as a little boy and ended up writing much of the the text that is going to accompany the images when Hard Art becomes a book. Alec and Charlie hadn’t seen each other in 30 years and I convinced them to take this photo reenacting one of the photos right behind them. It was a great moment.
When my grandmother died this summer I inherited a small amount of money from her. She was a lover and collector of art and I couldn’t think of anything better to spend her money on than photos from this show. I am purchasing three images from this show… one image of the Bad Brains, one image of the Teen Idles and of course one photo of Charlie Danbury and Trenchmouth.
I could not be more excited about these photos…

You need to come to this. I have art in it. And by art I mean Christmas Ornaments made out of photos of my testicles. This is not at all a joke. I almost wish it was.

A while ago a UC Santa Cruz student, Kati Teague asked me if she could use some of my photos from EDC for inspiration for some paintings. Of course I said yes and now here are the paintings and a couple of the reference photos.

A few days ago Bob Coulter gave me this huge and amazing print of my ex and Burning Angel model Nicole. I figured I should show it to you guys. I am pretty psyched about it. Thanks Bob!

There is a big art installation that goes up this Friday at the former Donnell Library that was somewhat inspired by these photos I took. It’s a pretty cool thing. Glad I could help!

This is in the National Gallery of Art in DC where I grew up. It was my favorite painting to see on field trips. I just loved that since the artist didn’t really know what a shark look liked so he put an ear on it.
