Limited Edition pics
A company based in Sydney called Icons of Sport, have undertaken to create and sell limited edition autographed prints of local and international music artists to generate an income and revenue stream that was not previously exploited.
With this in mind, the first musical print they tried was the Angels image you see below. It was created by another photographer, whom Icons has not been able to identify when I checked with them for credit purposes a week ago.
Icons have approached me, to gage my level of interest, in creating limited edition artworks from images that I photograph and design. The words "Hell Yes" escaped my lips somewhere in that proposal!
The first project that I did with them was the Brewster Brothers. These two gentlemen on the left and right hand side are both brothers, who, apart from being the songwriters with Doc from the Angels, also play in the band.
Couple that with the fact they are also members of their own group where the third man you see, Paul is their drummer, percussion, string accompaniest and singer. As if that isn't enough, they also have a third band called the Moonshine Jug and String Band. They are great through a series of photographic encounters and meetings this opportunity came up for me.
This picture below is what I created. There are only 100 images signed and autographed and are selling thru Icons of Sport for $199 each. I am receiving number 100 of 100! I wanted the last of that print.
Working with Icons, with the Brewsters and the Angels has spawned other work including Ganggajang, which has the drummer from the Angels, Buzz Bidstrup and Chris Bailey the bass player in their line up as well who have requested me to create images for them. I spent three nights this last weekend Fri-Sun covering their live Gigs around Sydney and the central coast, and have come to know and respect the band on a number of levels.
They presented me with an autographed CD / DVD and poster as a gesture of thanks, and my feeling and theirs was said best by Geoff the Keyboard player, "you just "clicked" with us, and that stuff doesn't happen often. Especially with 5 guys who have different creative leanings".
It is exciting and humbling as I look at the growing body of work and the people whom now know me. I am finding that once accepted into the semi insular families of the artists and celebrities, that it opens up other opportunities for us all.
Large trees certainly do grow from small seeds. I am very grateful I have a voice and medium to express myself and come to meet and know the people I do. Ganggajang pics and clips will be a post for a coming day.

Thanks for the question, I most certainly did NOT take THIS picture of the Angels, I displayed it here to show the style of shots that Icons of Sport are creating. I will be doing a couple of others for them as well. Apologies if it appeared I was claiming credit for the Angels one as well!
I have taken their live concert footage and they have autographed a collage that I have displayed previously on the blog though.
