Ariel Schrag in August 2010 Issue of Juxtapoz

I interviewed and photographed artist/writer Ariel Schrag for the August issue of Juxtapoz Magazine. In the time between my conversations with Ariel and the publishing of the article, Ariel began writing for the HBO series "How To Make It In America" Season 2. This will air in Summer 2011 and is very exciting! I may have to start subscribing to HBO for that.

I wanted the readers to be able to understand who Ariel is through the opening photograph (above) of her interview. In order to do this we incorporated a self portrait cartoon of Ariel and used black and white. Below are some additional photographs from that session

Kirsten Vangsness interviews Matthew Gray Gubler

Kirsten Vangsness of Criminal Minds is an avid art collector and has a great eye! She interviews her friend and co-star Matthew Gray Gubler in the July 2010 issue of Juxtapoz Magazine.
Kirsten and I met up with Matthew on the set of Criminal Minds and hung out in Matthew's trailer where they talked about Matthew's obsession with drawing and how and why he does what he does. After they were done with the interview Kirsten went into the Hair and Make up trailer to get ready for her work day and Matthew and I trolled around the studio looking for fun places to shoot portraits of him. We had so much fun. It was my first time hanging out at a big studio like that. Everyone was so accommodating and nice, it really seems like they all love their jobs and each other. After Matthew and I were finished shooting, I got to watch Kirsten in action. It was mind blowing to watch her work. Honestly, she is amazing, belting out her lines as if it were nothing. Kirsten loves acting and it shows!





I am so excited for this issue to hit the newsstands!

Margaret Cho Album Cover by Shawn Barber

Today Margaret Cho announced Cho Dependent, her new comedy music album is set to be released on August 24th

Shawn Barber, talented painter, tattoo artist and good friend of Cho created the album cover

The lyrics on Cho Dependent, which tackle issues of sex, drugs, rock & roll (and lice), may be laugh-inducing, but Cho has made no compromises when it comes to the quality of the songwriting and production. “Over the years of being an intense music geek I got to meet a lot of my heroes and I tricked them all into writing songs with me,” explains Cho. “Most comics want to be rock stars, and most rock stars want to be comics, so it was an easy exchange.”

Musical collaborations include: Jon Brion, Fiona Apple, Tegan and Sara, Andrew Bird, Ani DiFranco, Garrison Starr, Meghan Toohey, Brendan Benson, Rachael Yamagata, Carl Newman, Grant Lee Phillips, Patty Griffin, Ben Lee and Kevin Barnes
