Pictures say thousands of words, but when it comes the graphic images of the notorious David LaChapelle, it’s millions and millions. Depending on who you are, you might not know his name, but you definitely know his work. He’s worked with your favorite musicians and actors from Angelina Jolie, Whitney Houston, Tupac Shakur, and Courtney Love. His graphic images have been featured in Vogue Italia to ‘Burger King’ commercials. Yes, he’s in the same club that we’ve embraced since the turn of millennium. That Warhol-spirit of embracing both the lowbrow and the high, meeting somewhere in the middle, and creating provocative images. Speaking of Andy Warhol, which was his mentor in the beginning of his artistry, working in the Factory early in his career. Now, in modern times he’s inspiring the world like I’m sure Warhol inspired him. If you aren’t already a fan, become one now.
