KRAMPUSNACHT

Rob — Sat, 07 Dec 2013 05:28:57 +0000

Local artist’s EC Brown and Catie Olson hosted Krampusnacht ’13 at their home/studio/art space. There was lots of Krampus themed art, wintery grub, glogg, dancing and this photo booth where i got to photograph revelers. The guests were given the opportunity to sit on Krampus’ lap, receive swats from the demon’s broom or just have their mug taken in front of this really cool curtain. The Krampus costume and the beautifully crafted curtain were made by Rebecca Hinsdale. Her company, Make a Scene can create a booth for your event!

SPOOKY FOREST AT THE STOREFORNT

The Spooky Forest Installation at The Storefront Gallery was pretty damn fun. Thanks to my good pal Todd Klebenow, once again, for helping me paint the background….and generally figure out how to put this thing together and make it work in a small room and thanks to Brandon and Angel, who operate The Storefront, for letting me stink up the space during Halloween Week. Lots of people showed up in some pretty unique and creative costumes. We managed to drag a healthy handful of trick-or-treaters inside to have their portraits taken and even managed to really creep out a few people and send them running. Must have been a combo of the fog, strobe lights and home-made spooky tunes. A successful Halloween indeed! Custom made installations, like this, will be available for your events soon so stay tuned!

I will be shooting Halloween Portraits at The Storefront Galley (2606 N. California…Just north of Logan Blvd.). My good pal Todd Klebenow helped with a lot of the backdrop painting and general assembling of this thing. There’ll be candy and some beer (will be gone fast). Stop by when you’re lookin’ weird and on your way to some Halloween party. Stop by while you’re trick-or-treating or just stop by. Bring your kids! Bring the whole family!
Here are the hours of operation:

JUNGLEVATOR

The Tarantismo Summit Art Show 2013 blazed by a couple weekends ago at Chris Ilth’s Ravens Nest. I was offered a space to set up an installation/photo booth of sorts for the entire weekend and the cargo elevator seemed like the perfect little spot to roll a tree stump into, lay some sod, and let the smoke rise. The place was jammed with all kinds of eye bulging art from way-out and underground musician types like Jimbo Easter, Mac Blackout, Ben Lyon, Christopher Ilth and so many more. A few people commented on how much they liked the “nature installation”. I was genuinely thrilled to inform them that it was a photo booth and that they should have a seat on the stump and let me work my magic. It was a wonderful weekend! I’ll be setting up another installation later this summer at a gallery space in Logan Square. More details soon!

SHAKE SHOP PORTRAIT EXTRAVAGANZA

Rob — Wed, 08 May 2013 19:22:03 +0000

A couple weekends ago, Tom from Shake Shop was kind enough to let me set up a pop-up portrait studio in the front room of his Logan Square guitar repair shop. My good pal Todd Klebenow is mostly responsible for that fantastical sunset and mushroom painting. The curtains were provided by my windows at home! Lot’s of friends stopped by and a handful of curious strangers poked their heads in to have their photo taken. It was a success and more of these scenic studios will be popping up around the city in the near future. So be on the lookout!
