I recently did a photoshoot for my friends over at Banzi Bowls , my favorite place to eat while I am in town. I've kind of kept this on the down low for a minute, waiting for them to start using the pics, when I noticed that Greer's actually did a review on them! I'm really happy that the spot has really taken off, and if you do make it down there and you are in the mood for an acai bowl I totally recommend the Diamond Head with almond milk, its really amazing.

Its never a bad day when I can say that I spent it chillin with Snoop Dogg and of course Uncle Junebug.

Here's a pic I shot recently in venice beach with DJ Drez before he took off on his european tour. I hadn't met him until this day and I was really glad that I did, he's a really cool and sweet guy, and I look forward to hearing what else he has going on.

I know these have been out for some time now, but I was just able to get my hands on them. These figures were part of the "wayback throwback" collection that Todd James a.k.a. REAS did in collaboration with Stussy last summer. I saw these online a while ago, a knew I had to have them, I had just been really bogged down at work so it kind of slipped my mind, until this afternoon, where I had just a little time on my hands, and the will to leave the studio. I dunno what it is, but they are sitting here at my desk with me and I'm all smiles.

Here is the first teaser image to come out for the Creative Recreation photoshoot that I did recently in Kenya. This for sure one of my highlights from last year. It'll probably be a while till more of this stuff comes out, because my stuff that I shot earlier in the year from Cairo still has been fully released!

I worked on this during to what seem like a lifetime ago, but I don't love it any less. We had tons of adventures on this, almost losing Byrone to a waterfall, running away from the cops, getting caught by the cops, buying some girls a glass of milk at a bar, and the wizard!

Here is the first image to drop from shooting with one of my favorite skaters right now Theotis Beasley for Skullcandy. The set that we did with Theo was pretty amazing, so there will be alot more to come with him.

Happy Holidays everyone! Its been a remarkable year for me, and I can't express how much I appreciate the support from everyone just comeing to my site as well as all of my clients for keeping the lights on here at the studio. I just recently got one of these cards in the mail from my friends over at L-R-G with one of my photos I shot of Rob G over in Yosemite earlier this year. It made me happy to see this, I almost forgot I even did this shoot earlier this year, time really flew by. Anyway, speaking of

L-R-G I just saw this ad that I shot

feature modern day crooner Mayer Hawthorne in Complex Magazine. It was pretty cool I was chilling in a

7-11 waiting for some friends to buy their beers, and just stumbled upon this ad in the magazine. It makes me wonder about all the photos I have shot out there that people run that I don't know about.

I recently was able to collide with the Serial Wax Killer himself Mix Master Mike to shoot some photos of a pretty exciting collaborative project that has been in the works for some time now. I haven't been this excited for a project for a while now and I am so glad to have someone like MMM to work with. if anything he's been able to push me further than anticipated for this project which is always a great feeling! More to come on this one soon!

Despite the fact that I am terrible at it skateboarding and I are two things that are never too far away from one and other, and today was one of those days that I am glad it isn't. I was pretty fortunate enough to be able to work today with Mr. Theotis Beasley. Theo is really one of the nicest skaters I have ever met, and we were able to jam out some pretty good stuff today even though we had a really short window of time to work with. We've got a couple of things coming up and probably in a months time some of that stuff should be hitting the news stands.

Here are some of my recent photos for the Triumvir Psycho Brigade project. Brandon in one interesting guy to work with, I'm glad we both respect each other, otherwise we'd probably kill each other he actually wrote some pretty funny stuff in reguards this shoot, here it is , and for sure check out the site, the 530 media lab guys did a really great job. "WEEK03 of the Shadaloo Psycho Brigade features a small storyboard we’ve put together with the help of my photographer friend Quang Le. I don’t have to imagine at all how hard it can be working with me on something

creative, but Quang can fluster my creative emotions at times… its a bit frustrating at times but a good photographer will do this to translate your imagination into imagery. Behind every concept or collection I create there’s always a deeper story line to either the character or the piece of clothing. The Psycho Brigade project is still in its early concept stage, I see nothing set in stone yet about it… I don’t want it to be. Let’s just say the Shadaloo Psycho Brigade unit, the character, the story, is still going through beta testing… its “Phase I.”"

I recently hooked up with the crew from Hypercrush, to shoot this pic of Holly Valentine that appeared in the most recent issue of Nylon Magazine. To be honest with you all I wasn't too familiar with Hypercrush and their music, in initially and I have to thank my buddy Shaun Neff, of Neff Headware for educating me. I have to say that the shoot went amazingly, and that I think there is definitely going to be future projects between myself and the crew. Super nice people, fun to work with, and on top of that, they are pretty big movie buffs, and rather knowledgeable, all things that make it alot more fun for me to work with. Here's a little video that the Skullcandy crew put together for them, a behind the scenes video should be coming up soon from this shoot.

So the guys over at Triumvir are having a contest to promote the new Psycho Brigade project that we are all working on, I dunno all the details, but here's a link for it here i'm sure you'll get some pretty sweet loot.

Here are some images that I did for the L-R-G a little bit ago as part of their Fall/Holiday campaign you can actually check out the look book here

Rob G, Mayer Hawthorne, Skotch Davis, and Chico Brenes.

Here's a video that the Triumvir guys put together with Third Estate Media for their Triumvir/Capcom/Street Fighter project, entitled Psycho Brigade. I actually have something coming up with this project very soon, so keep your peepers peeled for it.

Here is Del The Funky Homosapien and I preping for our next gig over a none other than Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles over in Long Beach. It was kinda crazy, because I wanted to meet him up in LA, but he drove all the way down because he wanted to eat at this particular one. I'm not complaning at all, I love Roscoe's I just thought it was really funny considering that. There are two spots up in LA!

Kelsey Brookes in a genius, there is really no doubt in that, his show was pretty amazing! The only thing that can really eclipse his genius is the sheer brilliance of Lion Cut the band that played at his opening. You have gotta check them out, pretty amazing.

Here is my first teaser photo from my Cleobella shoot I did earlier this year.
