“Iconoclast”

Oct 15th, 2009

by James.

James Andrew portrait by Rory Gevis.

I was thrilled when artist Rory Gevis asked me to be a part of her “Iconoclast” series. Gevis honed her eye while working as fashion editor for magazines like Taxi, W, Harpers, Mirabella and House and Garden, as well as while working as creative director for major beauty companies like Estee Lauder, MAC, and Tom Ford color. Gevis tells us that she seeks to “really capture a subject’s essence.” She cites influence from the work of such classic cinematic masters as Fellini, Francois Truffaut and his alter ego Jean-Pierre Leaud.

My portrait above definitely has us channeling a 60’s Italian film star and with a lovely glam Bowie twist! We will keep you updated with Gevis’ show dates so you can see the rest of this beautiful series in person!

   Dearest James,

   I think Gevis has capture your essence, this is beautiful!
   The party was really nice, my friends were there too. Later on I went to one of the best restaurants here in Lima “La Gloria” to celebrate Alicia´s birthday, there I had a delicious grilled octopus with green salad with black olives, tomatos and capers, absolutely delicious…….then we drove to a friend´s place to continue with the “celebration” and I´ve just return home, I wish you a great day!

   Hugs

   Christian
