Inspired by Shag

Last November I painted a huge mural for Paul that was inspired by the artist Shag. The wall I worked on was 22ft long by 8 ft tall. It’s the biggest thing I’ve painted by far. Take a look:

This retro poolside background was very clean and used as a backdrop for the models to look like they were at a pool party at night. Paul is a fan of Shag I thought this was great complement towards his style and gave more dimension to the photos. I threw my own twist by putting in some modern century looking chairs and an almost monochromatic color in a way that I thought worked great with the pool-looking floor.

Hi How Are You?

Anthony Levas

Hi my name is Anthony and I stole the title of this blog from a guy named Daniel Johnston. You should listen to his music…its really good.

Right now I am listening to the Growlers though.  Check them out, but not before you read this!

Ok, so this is my first post for Paul Burlingame’s new “OhSnap!” blog. I thought I would talk a little about music, and also about how I met Paul Burlingame.  Paul is a great guy. He looks like this:

I met Paul about five years ago at the Coffee Cup in La Jolla.  He was a regular there, and so was I since my girlfriend worked there. The Coffee Cup has really good food. I just love their breakfast enchiladas, but they only make them like once a month. I could write a whole post on those delicious bastards, but not today my friends.  (You should try one though.)

At the time I was playing in a band called Flying Douglas and Paul came to some of our shows. From around that time on, we were friendly acquaintances. Four years later, he shot that girlfriend and me at our wedding.  It was a great day.

I now work with Paul. Since my wedding, about a year ago, we have worked together on a number of shoots. I assist him with lighting mostly. But I also have a blog of my own photos.

It’s really fun working with Paul, and I always learn something new. (And I’m not just saying that because I work for him.  It’s really true.) Paul is becoming well known in San Diego and New York, so check out his stuff.
