Time really flies when you’re having fun! It’s been a busy month of May and we’re only a week into the mix…Lots of positive energy and creative vibes floating about. Here are some photographs from the past week…

FRIENDS:

A 5 Question Interview Series

I met Sean through his younger brother Mikey, whose college apartment in Allston was where I first partied as a freshman at Boston University. That same apartment became my residence for junior and senior year of school, where I found myself surrounded by a ton of underground music and musicians. Back then Sean played with the band These Bones (along side of Keelay), who were among the first of the “indie” bands I was turned onto as I jumped head first into new independent music. Needless to say, it was inspiring to see these guys rock and then go party with them afterwards! After school I made a point of keeping Sean within reach, keeping an eye on his many projects…It’s been exciting to see Sean navigate through creative space, building a pyramid of successful projects (Sam Champion, Wah Do Dem, S/S Friends…to name a few), and now, with the release of Buzzards Boy, only the future will tell where Sean shows up next! Check his website seanbones.com (which I had the privilege of building) and pick up the latest from a dude I’m happy to call a friend!

1. As an artist what fuels you to pursue your craft?

Making sounds or things that I want to hear or see that aren’t already being made.

2. Inspiration is often hard to pin-point. If inspiration were one item of food which would it be, and why?

Lobster Roll. Maybe cause they’re best straight up without too much shit on them.

3. If you had $100 and no obligations what would you want to do tomorrow?

Go eat pastries in Nimbin, New South Wales.

4. Which do you feel best fits you. Meat Lovers Pizza, Tomato Pie or Calzone?

Tomato Pie. I’m feeling light and fresco.

5. Is there a quote, saying, or motto you’d like to share with others?

“Stay away from microwaves” – Axl Rose

Vivid childhood memories of jumping from pillow to pillow over running lava…Thank you Maurice Sendak

Its a great feeling when you can see a band multiple times over the course of 7 or 8 years and continue to have just as much fun as the previous show! Japanther in Long Beach, CA, 2012.

Yes yes…Tupac was brought back from the dead for this years Coachella…it was a sight to see! Watch it on YouTube…I’ve got some digital images to dig through but for the time being here are some film snap shots from the weekend in the desert, taken on a new toy! Enjoy!

Great times…Should have smiled for this self portrait…

I came across some old photos of some painting I did on the side of my buddy Aron’s ramp down in Puerto Rico from 2009 I believe…Wolfmans’ Paradise as it’s now known…

Came across this image mash on an old hard-drive…Thats me…focused, crown in hand around age 2? 3?

A day at the Long Beach Grand Prix…

Fritz has been couching it in Long Beach so we cruised to the beach to take some portraits…

After some hard drive cleaning the past couple of weeks I’ve decided that its time to share an abundance of photographs that have sat dormant for too long…For now you can see them on my tumblr which I’ve revamped and cleaned up. Please follow and check back for weekly updates! nickzegel.tumblr.com
