Another editorial spread for Mint Male. I wanted the photos to have a retro 50’s sun-drenched look, the underwear from American Apparel and the Adidas gear finished it nicely.
In this collection I was mixing come classic mythological imagery with tattoo flash. Both the Perceus and Medusa pieces are painted on art board with silver leaf. I mixed interference powder into a heavy black screen ink to get the color flares.
Scott is starting his own fitness empire. His fitness videos are crazy popular on youtube, and he was a cast-mate on the Real World: Brooklyn. These photos were originally shot for the November 2010 Mini Mint and I was going for a retro underwear ad look. I’m especially happy about the shot with the Calvin Klein underwear.
