Brooke was kind enough to be my second model for this series I am working on for a new book to be published in a few months. The theme is still in development but has inspiration from both anime and aztec influences.
This is one of a few images to give a preview of the series that will be revealed in an upcoming art show. So keep your eyes open for the release date for the entire series and a new book.
For almost a decade I have been shooting on location or in borrowed or rented studios. Over the past few months I have been looking at studio spaces in the hopes of acquiring a venue in which I will be able to offer my clients much more and increase my work capability and availability to do projects. Having a studio will allow me to offer much more and have a more secure location do photo shoots, body painting and even have a gallery in which to show and sell my work on a consistent basis.
Today I went to Norman to check out a studio that is available should I want to partner up with the people and tomorrow I have a meeting with a photographer that I have been assisting from time to time on wedding photography.
I have also been working hard on inspirational and motivational articles for So6ix magazine and soon will be offering classes on goal setting, promotions, body art, photography and more..
Distinctly Oklahoma magazine has also expanded my role with their publication and I will be doing photography and creative makeup for an special upcoming article in the August 2010 issue.
Keep your fingers crossed as soon I will bringing much more to the table with my photography, painting, and creative work. Thank you to everyone for your continued support.
Check out the new July issues of Distinctly Oklahoma Magazine and So6ix Magazine for some great articles on all that is good and fun in Oklahoma.
On a last note, I have 4 websites that I am revamping and streamline to help organize my work and also promote fellow artists. Keep your eye out for a completely new website that will be truly inspiring.
Until next time, stay positive and creative…

Nespresso Sculpture by Bryan Crump and Sande Sisneros
Originally uploaded by bryancrump
A new type of art that I have not done before. Sandy Sisneros and Bryan Crump (myself). worked on this abstract installation art for the Art Lofts of Lancaster first art show.
The entire piece is composed of Expresso shots from Nespresso. Each color is a different flavor and shot of EXPRESSO. So in some ways, it is art that can wake you up.
Special thanks to Amanda Gattenby Johnson, Nicole and Jason Moan and of course the Art Lofts, owners and builders.
I hope everyone likes this piece. It got quite a bit of attention at the show.
Just got a few copies of the July issue of Distinctly Oklahoma Magazine that is feature my photography and art. Here is a snapshot for you.
I am excited, they gave me two full pages displaying my work and publishing my bio written by Jordan Bedford.
Nicole Moan, has been in the Oklahoma City scene for years as an artist. Her entire family revolves around the arts in one form or another. Nicole’s father is a skilled painter, as well as her mother. Nicole’s husband is a fantastic sculptor and I am sure their children are experts at finger painting and mud sculptures in the yard.
The point of this blog is not to talk about her family but her art. I have seen some fabulous work in my life and Nicole‘s work definitely stands out. I met Nicole several years ago at the Individual Artists of Oklahoma Gallery in downtown Oklahoma City. From there, I was introduced to her work. She designs and sculpts ceramic corsets.
Recently, I had the pleasure of working with Nicole on a photoshoot with several beautiful and upcoming models. If you want to see something unique and entertaining to the eye then I highly recommend seeing some of her work. You can see it in many places on the web, including her website: www.nicolemoan.com
Good News!!! The website is still under construction, but my work is being featured in Distinctly Oklahoma Magazine in the July 2008 issue. If you are in Oklahoma or can get a copy, check it out.
The website is http://distinctlyoklahoma.com/
I hope everyone is having a good week.

My First HDR Self Portrait,
originally uploaded by bryancrump.
I have been reading a lot about HDR Photography for a while and finally decided to give it a try.
What is HDR? It stands for High Dynamic Range Imaging.
As quoted from Wikipedia:
“In computer graphics and photography, high dynamic range imaging (HDRI) is a set of techniques that allows a greater dynamic range of exposures (the range of values between light and dark areas) than normal digital imaging techniques. The intention of HDRI is to accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from direct sunlight to shadows.”
i think it has some really awesome potential for the work i have already been doing. By mixing it with some of the techniques I have already been developing. I will be able to create some really fantastic stuff. I am very excited.
