Report on travel plans

Update #2 · May 3, 2012 · comment

Hi Everyone!

In the past two days I've been talking to tribute artists and impersonators all over the US. It looks like my first trip will be to the southwest to meet and photograph Lorenzo Jackson in Phoenix, Arizona, Eddie Dlite who lives outside of Los Angeles, Ray Brooks of College Station, Texas and at least two performers in Las Vegas. As it looks now, I'll head west on 17 May.

I've also talked with and made plans with tribute artists in South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida and Rhode Island. Trips to those locations will happen in June.

I'm very excited by these plans, and am grateful for everyone's support. I really hope that a few more backers will step forward in the next week and help us meet the goal!

The Micheal Jacksons + Studio 360

Update #1 · Apr 27, 2012 · comment

Three people from The Michael Jacksons are featured in Roy Hurst's story this week on Studio 360. Plus there is a slide show of some of the portraits in the project. Take a look, and listen to Sean Vezina, Devra Gregory and Jovan Rameau tell a little about themselves and their work as Michael Jackson tribute artists/impersonators.
