Art Battle 2020 @ The Marquee Club

Hello everyone. Last Saturday I had the pleasure of attending the Art Battle at the Marquee Club. My long time friend Kris Rudic @krisangel_o (who also created the logo on the top left corner of this website) was one of the artists and he made it to the second round.

Expanding on my last post, I’d like to talk about photographing for my friends families. There’s something special about being able to document a group of faces in a moment in time.
