OK, this is an official invite to the NY AnD artists to join our Halloween Village parade on 6th Ave. I don't want to make it into an event since we have already quite a big group from other social networking site with my closer personal friends (Yes, that one!) and I have no idea how to send invites to only NY's artists. So here it's on my blog!!!
Here's what we posted:
The theme will be "SUPERHEROES ON STRIKE"! (Oct 31, 2008)
What's this!!??
Well, we are going to be superheroes...superman, batman, spiderman,
X-men, pokemon, the slutty cat woman...Any superhero that got super
power and their duty is to save the world!
But...
On
Halloween day, we are pissed! We have been day-in day-out saving the
unfair world but we demand this unfair world some fair treatments to
us, the superfriends! We want benefits, we want vacations, we want
401k, we want dental care, lower mortgage rate, we want reasonable
expectations...We are going to march on Sixth Avenue to unite our
frustrations to protest to the humans! Enough is enough!!!!
So far with
confirmed and Maybe guests are around 80 people. For those lazy
readers, here's the quick summary:
A. 7pm-Meet up at Naked Lunch (17 Thompson St at Grand) for some drinks. It's only one block east of the parade starting area
B. 8pm-Walk down on 6th Ave to protest (6th Ave and Grand)
C.
10:30pm-End at Dusk Lounge (147 W 24th bet 6th & 7th). Look for the
Chewbecca at the door. With all these pissed off superheroes? The night
is going to be ugly!!!! ;-)
Be ready for a lot of screaming and yelling!!!
Note: A.
Remember you have to be a superhero. Or at least make your character
super or related to the stories. You can think outside of the DC and
Marvel. Think Manga or cartoon if you are lack of ideas.
B. Make
a protest signage...this can be signage on a stick, banner, cardboard,
t-shirt, headband, hat...Make a funny statement. Usually all those
stupid mundane corp america complains are all good!***
C.
We are going to hire a photographer for the evening so that you don't
have to carry your cam in your tights. We will offer $100. Please
donate money when you see Charlie or Pam. Just a couple of dollars
would do.
*** Here are some suggestion to trigger some brain juice flow... . Superman "I am Superman, not a Multi-tasking man!" . Robin "No more shaving!" . Aquaman "Show me some respect! I don't just talk to squid all day long" . Wolverine "Stop calling me for your kids' haircut" . Cat woman "I am no pussy!" . "Better 401K and new stapler" . "Bank holidays!" . "OT!? OT!? OT, again!?" . Cyclops "Blue Cross Blue Shield should cover my eye-drops" . Mystique "I don't work on rainny days"

The show will only last until the end of Oct. Great little exhibit. The whole place is a pet store. It's located on 7th Ave, right next to Sushi Samba.
I was digging around some old shoots. Shot these last year but never worked on the post. This is kinda inspired by "La Femme Nikita". The original story is a bit longer. But here are only 5 photos at this point. It's about a secret agent longing for the outside world. Want to put the mask down and just be the woman inside. Ideally, I wanted to layer some street lights as if she is looking outside the window. One day when I get time to shoot the city background.
