Listen to my reflection on this work
This portrait is drawn from a photo from a shoot I did. In 2008, I launched a streetwear brand called Frequently Fly. The brand played off the word "fly" and was aviation themed.
In 2009, I did a promotional campaign called "Fly Everywhere I Go." I rented a replica Apollo 11 space suit from a costume shop in Ohio. Jordan Beckham, a photographer who was one of the original staff members when I started JENESIS Magazine, came with me to locations all over Pittsburgh. My goal was to literally be fly everywhere I go. We went to a bar, a Taco Bell, a city bus, and neighborhoods across the city.
To this day, it's still one of my favorite concepts I've ever executed.
