silver surfer...

for those that don't know, i used to publish an underground hip-hop magazine, called "insearchof... divine styler."

this was the cover of the last issue...



i told you already, i'm working on a book about the story behind the 'zine. for the cover, we decided to recreate the cover of the last issue, only this time, with me instead of moka only...

my brother's brother matt lee volunteered to take the photos with his friend jesse. yesterday was the day. the boys showed up at my house with a black screen for a background, some lighting gear, and a wicked ass camera. we took about 300 photos i think. you will see some of them soon. it took me a little while to get comfortable being butt ass naked, but the pabst blue ribbon light helped. after 6 or so of those i was rock and roll. we used some silver costume hairspray i bought at this sex shop downtown. it worked well. took three bottles of the stuff to cover my cracker ass. it got everywhere. i'm still washing it out of the floors, off the walls, and off all the doorknobs, cupboard handles, and anything else i accidentally touched while playing tinman. my skin has this sickish blue tint to it today. here are a couple of the photos of the preparation process. i'll put some good ones up soon...







talk soon,
