All That Glitters Is Not Gold

The cover page of my two part photostory submitted to Chaosphere Magazine. This page was dropped before final production. Completely destroying the message I had intended to convey.

Another reminder why I don't often work with magazines.

I wrote a tanka poem that went along with the photo-narrative which is featured below.

Dark ritualist.

Seeker of ageless excess.

Take heed. Life breeds death.

Sparing none the final rest.

Desire too much and lose all.

Tales of the Wicked Hare

I worked on Telekinesis Cabaret: Tales of the Wicked Hare early in April. I worked with someone I revere as the most influential living artist of my work, Douglas Little. Douglas is the Artistic Director and Founder of D.L. & Co. We worked alongside many of the players of the Cabaret for three long days on the set that was made for the most part of rolled brown paper. The show ran for three days and sold out each night. To see a review of the Cabaret click here: LA Times LA Weekly Black Book
