BLACK SCALE Crew on FLJ magazine !


(another one of my Favorite shot.)
Just published in Japan.
You can have sneak peep on FLJ Magazine Website .

Blue Note Japan magazine-Lalah Hathaway OUT!

This is, actually 2nd time to have cover shot, the first one was Rancid for FLJ magazine, however, it was illustrated cover, so dare to say, not 'straight photo" cover but on that point, this is my very first "straight photo"(?) Cover !
I had such a great photo shoot with Lalah Hathaway last month, amazing singer with such a cool personality, for Blue Note Japan's free paper magazine that you can pick up in Tokyo. Just came out on last Friday, if you're in tokyo, please check it out!
Huge thanx to Poodle Parlor-Joe, Ashley, Hanako, Jenny, Keiko and Atsuko Tanaka who introduced me amazing Blue Note Japan !

Kenton Parker








I met him several years ago through Warp magazine's assignment. He was introduced by Dannyboy (House of Pain, La Coka Nostra).
I immediately love his "little-red-mars" pieces, also became friend, always giving me good advice, good words...
His dog, lucky is also amazing dog that their bond is super strong, always talking without words.
Here's little snap from one day when I visited his place. Art in everywhere.
