“Vancouver photographer Mandy-Lyn appreciates beauty. Or as she puts it, ‘I take pictures of hot babes.’ The Canadian photographer has long been obsessed with vintage Easy Rider and Playboy magazines, and that old-school version of sexiness is prominent in her work. This includes her latest project with Altamont, Rock N’ Roll Suicides, a series of four t-shirts in which Mandy-Lyn recreated what she considers the four most iconic suicides in the rock music using her favorite subjects, beautiful women. These include GG Allin, Dead from Mayhem, Kurt Cobain, and Sid Vicious, all shot with a nod to specific elements of the time. As Mandy-Lyn puts it, ‘We’re visual creatures and everything we do is based on reference…reflections of the past.’”

“Andrea Sonnenberg grew up in San Francisco surrounded by photographers, graffiti artists, and musicians. By the age of 14, she was photographing and documenting the various exploits of her friends and contemporaries. Their penchant for getting into extremely unique and often dangerous situations became the basis of her body of work. Soon, she began to print her photos by hand at San Francisco’s famed Hamburger Eyes studio. Her work was included in MOCA’s 2010 Art In the Streets retrospective, the United States’ first graffiti and street art survey. Sonnenberg lives and works in San Francisco.”
