These and the previous studies had lead me to my next series,

"Black Cherries".

I am very excited about this new series. I've booked models all this week and I plan on doing nothing else but shooting.

I will also be releasing some limited edition prints in the upcoming weeks (working as hard for the reopening of my online store).

More updates to come...

Unhooded

There is not more sexy than a face that just been unhooded...

Teaser for a new series I will be working on....

As it is raining in LA, for those of you who lives here, here's something to brighten up your day :)

The sexy hood and mittens is again designed by the amazing Christopher, whom I'm honored to collaborate with.

Again this is an teaser image, the pieces I will be using for one of my many new series will have oil paint, and other interesting mediums worked into the piece.

Hope you will enjoy this!

To celebrate 25 years of groundbreaking art shows, Billy Shire presents his biggest event ever: La Luz de Jesus 25, a major retrospective exhibition and companion book. The show, offering work by more than 260 artists who have exhibited at the gallery over the years, is so extensive that Shire has split it into two parts, each with two opening nights. As you can see from the list below, the participating artists are a veritable Who's Who of art world luminaries. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see all these amazing artists together in one show.

View the artist roster for each month here.

The book, La Luz de Jesus 25: The Little Gallery That Could, features images of all the art in the show, a personal anecdote about Shire and the gallery written by each artist, essays by La Luz gallery directors and a foreword by Shire. The book is much more than a simple record of this remarkable exhibition. Together, the images and essays present a history of La Luz de Jesus through the eyes of the artists whose careers are intertwined with Shire and his gallery.
