Isabelle Collin Dufresne – Ultra Violet, an artist and muse to Salvador Dali and Andy Warhol. I photographed her and her work in her studio in New York.

“The Messiah is The Message” is one of Ultra Violet’s works that spoke to me the most. It is a message I firmly believe in – you only bring to the world what is truly in you. The purpose of the life of an artist is to distill a message through their practice, artists are the priests of the unknown which they make known through their work.

Halloween at Lucasfilm, the Greatest Costumed Party in the World

George had the habit of throwing lavish parties – 4th of July, Picnics, Halloween, Christmas. People spent months getting their costumes ready. But the Halloween party was famous for its costumes. Once ILM pushed a whole pirate ship fully manned with pirates onto the costume awards stage – the pirate ship was part of the Pirates of the Caribbean movie set.
