Most of you know me by Hollywood or Dustin Hollywood, but my real name is Dustin Alexander. I’m from Los Angeles, CA by way of San Francisco, my home town. Tomorrow will be my one and a half year mark here in Dallas, it seems pretty surreal when I think about it. It feels like [...]

One of my dear friends here in Austin, Miss Jackie Young took these Polaroids of me a couple years ago. She is someone I truly admire as an artist and a person. Check out her work at her FLICKR page. It is absolutely outstanding. Also, Miss Leyla Lacheri from Soft Action styled me in these [...]

It happened to Moses at the Burning Bush, to Jesus at the Jordan River, and to Buddha under the Bodhi Tree.
This past week, God spoke to me at Le Mathis. Antique paintings, foie gras, mirrored walls, haricots-verts, crystal chandeliers, and bottles upon bottles of velvety red wine that played so joyfully against every bite of [...]

Saturday, fellow Helloooooo-er Dustin Hollywood and I had the opportunity to interview Norway based DATAROCK front man Fredrik Saroea. Conversing casually over a couple cigarettes and the evening sun was very enjoyable with Frederik who turned out to be an extremely warm, amiable and charming individual. He spoke with us about the technicalities associated with the [...]

The band is releasing Hearts on [...]

This old photo deserves some serious attention. It’s a picture of my uncle (who happens to also be Shok’s dad) and was taken at LAX in the 1960’s. Look at the man’s style. Right out of GQ. He was fresh off the boat too…can you believe it? The hat, the sunglasses, the cuff-links — the rings! [...]

Long day at school today.
A couple pages left to read in Lolita.
This calls for a quick stroll in the gardens of the Château de Versailles before making my way back into Paris centre…
After a quick 5 minute drive from school, I landed upon a cool surprise – Veilhan Versailles. Set against the typical lines and [...]

Almost exactly a year ago I took these Polaroids. My mom had just given me an old One Step Polaroid Camera she found at a garage sale that still worked and this was the first pack of film I used with it. I stopped by a small Carnival in Greenspoint, an area north of Houston [...]

The clouds come together, big clouds, like the pillows you use to play with as a child…
The thunder rolls, and trillions upon trillions of rain drops are released into the air.
Paris is showered, cleaned, no… cleansed of the sins it was witness to the night before.
An hour later, the sun king returns to his throne [...]

Here are just a handful of the insane amount of polaroids I took on my past trip out into west Texas. There are so many unique textures, bulidings, and scenery out west and the most intesresting part is that almost everything is completely abandoned.

Last night I stopped by the set of my friend Tim Ketchersid’s remake of Daft Punk’s “Something About Us” and shot a few pictures. The short music video — which takes place in a bedroom — looked like it was going to be bad-ass when complete. Look out for the exclusive release of the video on our site sometime [...]
