So I had to renew my visa and get out real fast. My flight was supposed to leave sunday, April 1st at 6 in the morning. I got a call on friday if I can shoot some fashion stuff for two hours, starting at 10 am. I thought I be done in the afternoon and still have enough time to pack up, clean the house, get the stuff for the dog together (she is traveling too) … so I agreed to the shoot. Anyway, of course I wasn’t done in the afternoon, I was done at 7 pm. Good part is they had a runner @ the shoot that goes out to buy food and stuff, and she got everything what I need for the dog. Perfect! The photos came out pretty nice to, we shot at a crazy location, the chick that did all the design started crying because she was so happy to see her vision put to reality. I will edit some photos in the next couple days and load them up. Fashion is so much easier than shooting rap artist. You shoot good-looking girls, they are all nice and funny, all on time, rappers always hours late, always have an attitude, and you fight against ego. Still love rap but maybe I start doing more fashion. After I got home at 7 pm I had to finish up some artwork, was done around 10 pm, and started packing up and cleaning the house and stuff, pretty close timing but it worked out.

First stop was LAX to Detroit, then I had to wait a couple of hours, and we kept moving on, Detroit to Amsterdam. I arrived there at 6:20 am, my connection flight to Hamburg supposed to leave at 7:00 am. So I got out the plane and asked the first person I saw which Gate it is and which way to go. She told me I won’t make it and I have to get on the next one … fuck that. I started running, got almost arrested for jumping security (which ended up longer) and ran through the whole airport (of course, as always in situations like this, the gate is on the complete other end of the fucking airport, I bet they do that on purpose). Remember I had this big as camera bag including all equipment, computer, and some other stuff … it was heavy as hell. 6:50 am I am standing in front of the Gate, it’s almost closing, they check my ticket, and I said that I am traveling with a dog … dang the dog is not there, all the running for nothing, I have to get on the next plane. At least I got a coupon for a free phone call (reminds me of jail time), another coupon for something to eat (hello Burger King) and I got 50 Euro back off the price I paid for the ticket. 3 hours later I was finally on the plane. Now I’m in Germany, which is good so I can start doing more ‘Unfinished Business’ stuff, since I had all the old work on a hard drive that I left here.

I mentioned a project with Snoop before. I am working with this rock group called Anchored. I did their last album artwork, anyway, they wanted to do a song with a rap artist and I put in the name Snoop Dogg. They recorded the song in December and now they just shot the video for the song. The video will come out in a couple of weeks, and the release date for the single on iTunes is in May 8th. I shot the single cover and of course did the layout. It’s supposed to have this classic rock vibe. The band wanted to wait another week with the release of the news but the leader of the band just can’t hold it anymore, so the big news is out …
