There’s a gigantic book available on the History of Hip Hop. The gatefold is a beautiful painting by Mike Thompson and as you can see, a photo I took of Lady Pink was a model. I am happy to have my pictures used in this coffee table book. The book is called Hip Hop a Cultural Odyssey and it is huge and printed on the heaviest paper I’ve ever seen used. This is probably the most comprehensive book on Hip Hop ever published and I’m recommending it highly!

I’ve never done much commercial work, but I’m glad that I was able to supply photos to this band. I don’t normally listen to rap or hip hop, but this band wasn’t easy to label. Huey plays guitar and is the main vocalist. If Eminem or JayZ had huey’s skill on the guitar, they’d be even more famous and rightfully so. I never figured out why “The Fun Lovin’ Criminals” were unable to make it in a big way here in America. They did much better in Europe and I guess the British still know their music…
