It was so cool to hangout with and shoot Os Gemeos. I have been a huge fan of their work for a long time. I also have a bit of favoritism for them, when it comes to street art, being that they are Brazilian. Be sure to check out the coverage on HS.

Shepard Fairey was hard at work, again today on his mural for the May Day Deitch Gallery show. As always, he was super approachable and personable.

I had the pleasure of attending New York City art icon Justin Bua’s gallery exhibit opening at Pop International Gallery in SoHo NYC on March 25, 2010. I was able to get in before the action really started, and get some shots of Bua with his work. Be sure to check out the interview that I did with Bua, over on SoJones.
