Torrid, Tight, and Sexy - A Fashion and Concert Show in NYC

On July 27, legendary punk fashion designer Natasha held her Torrid, Tight, and Sexy Fashion Event at Santo's Party House in Manhattan. The show featured a showing of Natasha's new anti-fashion swimwear for 2012. The show was supported by musical performances from Transgendered Jesus, Luigi and the Babes featuring Dai Burger, and God's Green Earth.

The first band to take the stage was Transgendered Jesus, fronted by Anne Hanavan. I didn't know much about the band going in, but they gave a great performance, fusing punk and metal into their unique sound. Anne's husband, Paul, is the bands saxophonist, and their politically infused music was a great show opener to motivate the crowd. The band even did a dedication to "Serial killer" Aileen Wuornos. Anne Hanavan is obviously no stranger to fashion herself, having owned a small boutique in Manhattan's lower east side for several years.

A Day at Coney Island / Luna Park

Recently, I had the pleasure of taking my camera to Coney Island for a Sunday afternoon visit. The beach peninsula, which includes the Luna Park amusement rides, always offers a great experience. The beach attracts a diverse crowd of New Yorkers looking for a convenient getaway to beat the summer heat. Visiting Coney Island as a photographer has become a yearly experience for me. Coney Island's rich celebrated history dates all the way back to the 1830s. While the attractions alongside Surf Avenue has undergone many changes over the generations, the essence that makes Coney Island enjoyable will always be available to it's patrons.

A Re-Designed and Re-Launched NegativePop.Com

My apologies for the lack of blog posts in the last month. I have been hard at work trying to complete a major update to my website. NegativePop.Com, my portfolio website, has finally been re-designed and re-launched.  I have been a Graphic Designer, Photographer, and Web Designer for over the past 11 years. Digital Art has been my passion, and the time has come for me to take my creativity to a higher level. I invite everyone to please visit and review my works. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did in creating them.

Please stay tuned! I have a lot more photography and designs to come in the near future. Currently I'm entertaining all related employment and business inquiries. Opportunities for Event, Cosplay, and Modeling Photography Shoots are welcomed.

I leave you with a poster I recently created for the Brooklyn RobotWorks. It features my photography, and a pretty cool looking Autobot symbol I created from scratch. Please take a look at the creations of the Brooklyn RobotWorks. They're quite amazing!

Robots, Creativity, and Imagination: Brooklyn RobotWorks

It was 11:45am on a late Saturday morning in Manhattan. Outside of the famed Pennsylvania Hotel, where Wizard World New York was just underway, foot traffic came to a grinding halt in anticipation of an unusual sight. It was on that day that 7th Avenue was graced by an appearance from Bumblebee, one of the most popular Autobots on the Transformers' roster. The yellow and silver robot zipped around on foot as he greeted his fans and brought smiles to the faces of curious children. Everyone scrambled for their cameras to capture a shot of the most realistic Transformer Cosplay costumes ever seen to date.
