Andrew Sexton// Portraits of Friends// Set 10

Andrew Sexton is a hell of an artist. He does awesome, crazy intricate drawings and amazing sculptures. I like hanging around Andrew because he has a weird Canadian accent, has a great moustache, and he likes to laugh. He's also missing a tooth, but I don't know the story behind that. I'm pretty sure he loves his mother too.

Danielle Garza// Portraits of Friends// Set 9

Ellie is a lovely young lady. We've shared many good times together. She works in downtown LA, in the 10th tallest building in the city. She always promised to take me on the roof so I could spit off the edge, but that has yet to happen. She is a very talented seamstress, writer, and artist. She also has a blog called, Subliminal Messages, that she updates quite often with great stories and trippy pictures.

Charlie Staunton// Portraits of Friends// Set 8

Charlie is a class act. I don't think I know a single person that doesn't like him, nor have I ever heard an ill word spoken of Mr. Staunton. He's an old fashioned thrill seeker and a founder of fun. He enjoys the finer things that life has to offer and is quite gracious with those offerings as well. One word of advice, don't fuck with Chuck.

Garvan Cavanagh// Portraits of Friends// Set 7

Garvan is one of a kind. He's from Delaware or Rhode Island, East Coast something. He works as a moped messenger, but usually keeps it looked up on The Alley and walks to all the high rises in Century City. He loves hip hop and reggae, especially R. Kelly and old Vanilla Ice. I remember the first time I met him, he had a picture of Slick Rick on his Moped Army profile, but I didn't realize it was Slick Rick. I thought Garv was black and wore an eye patch. So when I finally met him I was (and still am) disappointed that he wasn't a rad black dude with an glittery eye patch. Garv also loves his mother very much. I like Garo the Magnificent.

Brian Sowell// Portraits of Friends// Set 5

Brian Sowell is the most evil person on Earth. When he smiles, it's the most evil smile on Earth. He has a van, it's the most evil van on Earth. He has a dog, Natas, she is the most evil dog on Earth.
Aside from all his evil, doomy ways Brian is an extremely talented photographer and plays a mean bass guitar. I like Brian.

Sarah Roach// Portraits of Friends// Set 4

Sarah Roach is a swell young lady. She's quite the snapper and is finishing up her undergrad in photography at Art Center. She also knows how to ride a dirtbike and has some sweet dance moves.

Cameron Amick//Portraits of Friends// Set 3

Cam was in the Navy, he loves to tell stories about the Navy, he has Navy tattoos, he even drove a Fiat Panda in the Navy. He likes ships and mopeds. He also a ships boxes during the day, but at night he loves nothing more than to cuddle up on the couch with a nice glass of red wine and read poetry. He is a refined man and can cook up a mean portchetta.

Nick Sapiro//Portraits of Friends//Set 2

Nick Sapiro is one righteous dude. He spends his days at Choke tending to Dirt Wizards needs, repairing mopeds, jamming sweet tunes, and yelling at the neighborhood bums. At night he can be found swooning the sweet ladies, playing Xbox, recording magical music, and listening to Coast to Coast AM to the wee hours of the morning.
He rules and always has a sweet story to tell.

Ben Klevay//Portraits of Friends//Set 1

My friend Jennifer and I started this project to showcase our friend's talents. The idea came about as a way to compile all of their talents and interests (mopeds, cars, etc..) into one place and show them off. A website is being built and will profile each person, stay tuned for that.
These are the portraits of each person. Every couple of days I will showcase another person, in no particular order.
First up is Ben Klevay. He's an awesome designer and an ever more awesome dude. His drawings are stellar and his laugh is contagious.
