Paper + Ink
It’s been a crazy couple of months. I have so much to update on new work I’ve shot plus the madness of Soundwave Festival 2013 and of course Kanye Lens Vs Soundwave Volume 1. This post is will be all things about my book, hopefully next week I can do an update with some fresh work.
Kanye Lens Vs Soundwave book is well and truly out in the world now. The feedback has been amazing. I had copies floating around backstage at Soundwave and had so many people come up to me and congratulate me on the book which was the best feeling. You can imagine how many photos bands get thrown at them, so for artists to give me the thumbs up was rad. I even signed a book for Tom Araya from Slayer, that totally blew my mind!
Most people assumed I took book number one but as you can see, I chose differently.
Here’s a few pics of SW bands in my studio reading the book.
The Chariot
Killswitch Engage
Bring Me The Horizon
Paramore
The Sword
This Is Hell
The Melbourne book launch and exhibition went down a treat. I actually only got to go on the opening night as it was smack bang in the middle of Soundwave but again I had great reports that people dug it, so thanks!
The Brisbane Book launch and exhibition is starting this Thursday 4th April and runs through the to the 30th.
Opening night is Thursday 4th 7-9 FB invite https://www.facebook.com/events/557934697570741/ If you live in the area, please come down. I would love to see you there.
