On Halloween my neighbors finally found out why I’d been sanding and spray painting in my garage all summer! Voila! My ode to Daft Punk, (love you Thomas and Guy-Man) one of my favorite bands that sadly parted ways this year, but their legacy lives on. Not only their music, but their damn fine eye for design. I mean, seriously, forget dressing up as a sexy nurse or unicorn furry for Halloween, give me a slick French robot that’s about to drop the sickest beats you’ve ever heard. Showing zero skin never looked so good!
I’ll do another post on the actual process later. This photoshoot is the result of the incredibly talented photographer David Crossett and the super chill Younger Than Yesterday record store in Peoria, IL. We showed up unannounced and walked in, the clerk didn’t bat an eye that I was a robot and just said, yeah do what you gotta do. We had the place to ourselves and it did not disappoint. We both got excited as soon as the helmet caught the neon. These images just make me so happy!
Let’s get bedazzled.
I’m not a 6 ft tall Frenchman but I work with what I got.
“Search for Spock! I don’t have this one!”
“It’s good to exchange ideas and feelings and culture, whether it’s France or Japan. To exchange ideas or share music or art, can bring everyone many gifts, to travel, and then share everything we can to learn more about oneself and try to bring, maybe, peace.” —Daft Punk
Nothing says 90s music zine like a fisheye lens.
