Spent an amazing Saturday in Sacramento with the boys in Drop Dead, Gorgeous. We did a sweet shoot for Glamour Kills and some really dope press photos for their new album coming this Summer on Suretone, and guess who’s doing the artwork??!?! SONS OF NERO! haha :)
Stay tuned for some images from the shoot, along with the behind the scenes of the album artwork shoot
I have been a fan of THE ROCKET SUMMER since his first EP, when I was Sophmore in HS. I remember taking my HS Girlfriend to one of his shows in 2004. And now, 5 Years later. I am able to work with him, on an awesome myspace layout! Bryce is a great dude, if you ever get to check him out live. It’s a must-see!

So I’ve been going through some old photos, and other people’s blogs and I decided I need to post a lot more Behind the Scenes photos. So I’ll start with a cool shot from BRING ME THE HORIZON “SUICIDE SEASON” CD Artwork shoot. The cover shot was not easy to capture. After 4 DIFFERENT SHOOTS, on 4 DIFFERENT DAYS we finally got the shot we needed. The shot included 3 yards of sausages, and a lot of fake blood (chocolate sauce & red food dye). If you haven’t picked up this record, it’s definitely is a must have.

I had the great pleasure of working with 6 amazing dudes this past week WE CAME AS ROMANS They’re about to be doing some really awesome things. So stay to hear about that, and see the full photo collection!
What did you do!??!
I took the photographs for this artwork. The only added post-production was a little more texture to the guts, everything else was done by hand.
