It was the perfect day on the iconic Mulholland Drive to shoot a portrait of Michael Trucco (Battlestar Galactica, Castle, Criminal Minds, Drone…) posing with one of his favorite motorcycles, a beautiful limited edition Ducati — an art piece on its own.

I just finished working on a new design project with Laguna Beach based designer François Langin. This door panel insert is a semi-gloss waterproof coated print and mounted on a 1/4″ plywood. The size is 73″x19″ and fits perfectly inside the door. The door  panel used one of my vertical images — have a look at what’s available, use your creativity […]

Last week I was helping a friend with some images for his new wine bar in West Hollywood — Zinque. Tucked away across from the Pacific Design Center, this hidden gem just screams happy hour by inviting you in to sit on their patio drinking a glass of wine on a warm day. The West Hollywood space, formerly occupied […]

Robin Chretien, Founder and Designer of Robin’s Jean launched a new store in Paramus, New Jersey this past week to much fanfare — there to welcome new customers were three impressive 12 foot vertical panels of my iconic El Mirage series.
