My friend Ashley Hay and I recently did a shoot for an upcoming videocast that we are working on – Vinyl Monster. Ashley’s brainchild, VM will be a collaborative effort between the  Fancy Pants Gangsters and Game Informer. We’re still working out the details, but we’re looking at recording once every two weeks and will feature news and reviews as relates to designer toys, goods and geek merchandise. We’re also going to have tips and tricks for creating your own custom toys and will highlight videos submitted by users showing off their personal collections.

Our plan is to infuse as much personality as possible into the show, so Ashley and I set up a shoot with a distinctive urban/80s theme to use for promo material and whatnot. I recruited my makeup artist friend Corrie Sorensen to do our makeup, and my coworker Nick Ahrens took the photos. We shot after work one day, using a nearby building covered in graffiti for a backdrop. The photos are definitely fun and memorable. Check them out below!

I’ll have more information on Vinyl Monster as it becomes available.
