The summer has been especially busy so far, filled with a lot of travel and adventure. A recent trip to Wyoming gave me the opportunity to not only meet some amazing new friends, but also a chance to earn my Dragon Scout merit badge.
If you recall, the last shoot of one of artist Amanda Visell's characters had me in danger of being jumped by crazed hobos. This one had the very real threat of attack by hungry grizzly bears, sighted in the area prior to sunset. It's as if the shoot existed in Amanda's darkly humored world, filled with pink elephants and baby-eating crocodiles. The fact that the location was an old summer camp near the trailhead to Death Canyon just further pushed the surreal threshold.
I'm pleased to announce that a behind the scenes look at the Dragon Scout shoot will premiere in August as part of the Photoflex Pro Showcase. The feature will reveal some of the equipment and techniques behind my work. More articles will follow in later months.
In the meantime, there is the awesome insanity of San Diego Comic Con looming on the horizon...
For those in attendance at Comic Con, I've been invited to sign at Hi Fructose Magazine's booth, Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th at 1pm. Come by to say hello, and I'll sign copies of the magazine, the collected edition, body parts, children's foreheads, etc..
