First of all I have to thank the fabulous Joan Murray, my fabulous girlfriend/make-up artist, for introducing me to her insanely talented fiance Longineu Parsons III ( AKA LP). The inspiration for this shoot came from so many places, but the idea was originally born at Tasha’s Baby Shower while Joan and I competitively made designer “One-sy’s”:) I also have to thank Rick Policastro, for so eagerly willing to assist this shoot, even though we repeatedly put him in positions to get arrested all day long:)
The whole day was a BLAST though, from setting up a drum kit in the ocean, Venice Boardwalk, and the Venice Skate Park…to Trekking up to the Hollywood sign, getting booted out of the parking lot of a Production Company that has this SUPER Rad Life-size TV…TWICE, and the GRAND finally, setting up and playing LOUD in a back alleyway in Hollywood. We attracted lots of people, but thankfully NO cops!!
Out of the 1800 photos we took, here are just a few to show you our incredible shoot. Keep an eye out for “Defining Me”, LP’s Solo Album about to drop, PMD (a collaboration with Miles Davis), and of course Yellowcard! LP is about to blow up, and he DEFINITELY deserves it with his talent. Just start following him on Twitter and you will see! twitter.com/longineu , twitter.com/milesmdavis or www.yellowcardrock.com
