A company called Uncommon is making a line of artist Iphone cases.  Most of the art comes from the Fecal Face / Juxtapoz taste.  Pretty amazing new technology and well designed site.  You can choose from 10 of my most popular images and layout the photos on the case however you’d like.

Andy Adams has a pretty nice photography site called Flak Photo which is a good source for inspiration and a glance at the goings on in the artsy photo world.  One of my Arcticness pics was recently featured on the site.  You can have a look here: Click

Today I hung out with Portlander Vanessa Renwick who is pretty much an amazing human being in too many ways to list. She has a homemade sauna in her backyard in the shape of a giant Raven’s head, for example.  She also creates beautiful art in the form of films and installations and is the woman behind the Oregon Department of Kick Ass. I was shooting a picture of Vanessa and her dogs when suddenly Fox the dog levitated into the air and hovered out through the skylight in the ceiling.  He flew around in the backyard for a bit (my camera ran out of battery just after the start of levitation) then touched down in driveway and came back inside.  Apparently this happens all the time at the Renwick house.  I thought it was a bit strange but enjoyed the show nonetheless.

Red Gold was created last year by a small crew of independent filmmakers: Travis Rummel, Ben Knight, and Lauren Oakes.  It is one of the most powerful environmental documentaries I’ve seen.  The trailer is a great introduction to Bristol Bay salmon fishing and the battle with Pebble Mine.

My Friend Holly Andres has a nice segment on OPB about how she works and her journey as an artist.

I was lucky enough to be included in two great photographer/art compilation books this year.  Apenest Volume 2 was compiled by Cody Hoyt and Brian Willmont and packed with goodness from these lovely artists:

John Copeland, Denise Kupferschmidt, Justin B Williams, Sophia Dixon, Bill Dunlap, Corey Arnold, Andrew Schoultz, Joseph Hart, Cody Hoyt, Paul Wackers, Grimaldi Baez, Brian Willmont, Corey Corcoran, Fighting, Mark Chariker, Eddie Martinez, Jeremy + Claire Weiss, Anthony Sobiech, Elton Lovelace, Zac Scheinbaum, Deep Slumber Lake, Whitney Claflin, Eric Saline, Meghan Tomeo, Chris Wawrinofsky, Travis Neel, Rebecca Gordon, Suzy Coady, and Alex Lukas.

Various Photographs is the catalog for the exhibition of the same name, curated by Tim Barber for the 2008 New York Photo Festival.  You can find at least 3 of my pictures in there.  Tim’s kicking ass lately with the announcement of his own publishing company, T.V. Books.  He runs the notorious website Tiny Vices and has a new books series being released by Aperture.

A big stack of magazines were in my mailbox upon arrival back in Portland. China’s Photographer’s Companion Magazine August, Monster Children issue #16 (australia) with a nice cover by Mike Giant and RE:UP the photography issue all had interviews and/or photo spreads of my fishin pictures. I’m especially honored to have my photos in the same mag with Glen E. Friedman… who is a long time hero.

This was my second inclusion in juxtapoz this year. Man, I feel lucky. What a great cover by Shepard Farey.

Giant Robot Magazine issue 43 is out now. Check out the beautiful cover art by my Arctic accomplice Rachell Sumpter… yeah, that’s me with the fish! An interview with Rachell about our trip accompanied with my photos can be spotted inside.

FHM (UK) just published a two page interview with me about life as a crab fisherman. Man, what a trashy magazine. In other news I’ll be heading back to Alaska (Ketchikan) next week on assignment with the German Fashion Magazine Neon. Also look out for upcoming articles/photos in Artweek, Juxtapoz, Monster children (AU), RE:UP, and several Chinese publications. Oh, and check out this great photographer’s work: Amy Stein. I haven’t seen anything this great in awhile.

An Artist named Laura Findlay from Montreal, Canada made some paintings of my photos and sent me these. Thanks!

Some dude named Kele Dobrinski made this wallpaper and sent it to me. Thanks

The New site is online! There are still a few bugs though…. for example if you are using safari, you might have some troubles with the menu. We’re working on it but its nice to just get it out there finally! Feel free to email me if something isn’t working ok. Also I’ll have photos in two new San Francisco exhibitions: GRSF Tree Show in July and Fecal Face Annual Exhibition at 111 Minna in August. Thanks!

Hi, this dude named Porous Walker drew this picture of me… It looks more like Brian though. I wish my teeth could be this awesome. Anyway, his work is great. Check out Owltooth.com. And keep your eyes out for stories in Fecal Face, National Fisherman, Carl’s Cars and Giant Robot Magazine over the next couple months.

I’ve just arrived in Vardø, Norway. After eating an omelette in the next ten minutes, SF Accomplice Rachell Sumpter and I will set out in search of the elusive Sami reindeer herder and the often shifty Norwegian whaler and will likely have a seal hunting conversation with at least 3 other people. In other news… This months issue of SOMA magazine has a series of street portraits from coreyfishes.

The Rollo now has a website at rollocrab.com. Hurray! But don’t get too excited because it isn’t done yet… but there are a few new photos.

Back in Oslo. Congrats to Karl, Andre, and the other people at Carl’s Cars Magazine for getting picked as one of the best designed magazines in the world by some award thing in New York… I don’t even like cars but it’s my favorite magazine and Karl is a real nice guy. In other news, I’ve got another group show in San Diego this month at L Street Fine Art Gallery in the gaslamp area. Opening is April 27th. A couple pics from the Night series will be present. Say hello to Nicole, she seems like a nice person on the phone.
