Thru The Gateway...

So I ended up with a happy accident on this little series of photos. As my new Nikon proved to be a piece of shunk for the third time in a row, I turned to my iPhone to capture the first idea I had for the Peyote photo I had just set up. The iPhone shot turned out pretty neat-o so I decided to ditch my elaborate and studious setup with the full rig and go completely hand held via my Hipstamatic app.  So with no further adieu, enjoy a journey through… The Gateway

I get by with a little help from my friends

Borrowed_Toys_Cropped_720-
“This goes out to you know who you are...” -Doom!  Sometimes there’s a toy I just can’t find on my own and I come across a collector who has that hidden gem. These toys in the image above were all borrowed from such cool collectors who I’ve enjoyed getting to know along the way and in the process from concept, collecting, to capturing the final image.

Recently after shooting that tiger Labbit I had the awkward experience of reaching back out to the collector to share the finished product in which a baby tiger had to pick out the older tiger who molested it. Pretty heavy stuff when you’re typing it out in an email trying to explain that it should be funny, or cute... A couple weeks went by with no response from the person I borrowed the Labbit from. I was like, yeah, I get that, not what she had in mind. Finally she responded and loved it! Phew!

That said, if you are reading this and have some far out, hard-to-find toys, I’d love to hear from you. I offer to cover shipping for the borrowed toys both ways, guarantee their safety, and send the owner a signed #1 print of the edition. Think about it.

Pop Worlds Collide, History Made

Two great minds pop alike. Recently I featured another artist’s work in my piece, MOMA, Dada, Gaga? (seen below). That artist’s name is none other than Troy Gua, a pop god making his mark the art world by doubling up numerous pop icons in his Pop Hybrids series, and by creating “portraits at the speed of technology” in his Colorbandz series. He has even taken his craft into a world much like my own by creating his own little Prince toy figure that he has created tons of props and signature clothing for that he then photographed in his Le Petit Prince series. When reaching out to get Troy’s blessing to feature his The Burt and Ernie piece, I found a kindred spirit that I instantly bonded with! Lookout world!

Above you can see a crazy hybrid photo I made by fusing both of our self portraits, and below that his Portrait of Ernie and Burt as Colorbandz™.

Spies Remix Video!!!!

Check it out. This is a stop-motion animation video I made for a song I helped write for a band I was in in Chicago called Readysuits. The song is called Spies. I then remixed the song and had a friend of mine, Christian Hage, add all the tight special effects. You can hear more Readysuits at: myspace.com/ readysuits/

Song: Spies (remix) Artist: Readysuits from Ryan Roberts on Vimeo.

The Hair, It Talks To Me...

So here’s a lil’ treat for ya’s... This is what I would call a B-side photo of a Bigfoot photo I recently took. You’ll have to wait a while for the Bigfoot image but I thought you might enjoy this. It’s kind of hard to see but he’s selecting a hair cut from a book. It’s titled, “Number 49... Wonderful Choice.” If you look real close you can see them holding scissors.
