Art Prize
Last week I went with a ferndale artist friend to Art Prize in grand rapids. This was its first year of artists taking over the city and is the largest art contest to ever have been started internationally. The grand prize is $250,000 and people from all over the world came to the open-ended competition. I interviewed a few of them about their work and their feelings about art prize. Grand rapids is a beautiful place and at times I thought I was in Switzerland because the city was so clean and well designed.

Sufjan Stevens
Sufjan has been away for a bit and it was exciting to hear him play in pontiac. He had a lot of new material which was great to hear.I recommend hearing an artist in a location that inspired some of their songs.
the angela duncan
The Angela Duncan is one of the best people you will ever meet. She also is a great illustrator.
Buy her Later Buddy Michael Jackson t-shirts.
All images have color adjusment but all fireworks and smoke are real!
Single Barrel
Single Barrel put on a big show at the crofoot in Pontiac. If you’re not familiar with single barrel yet it is a great cause that is trying to give attention to the great music and places in detroit. Amazing night with a lot of talented artists! Above is Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr
Daniel Zott and Josh Epstein collaboration = mind-blowing.
Art Collaboration
I’m starting a project with some friends. I’m shooting images and then they are reinterpreting them in their own artistic medium.
Eventually the artwork will be auctioned off and the proceeds donated to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Michigan chapter .
If you are interested in being part of the project email me your info website etc… and we will see if it is a good match.
The first two of the series are below. Collaborated with Devin Sioma.
