You often collaborate with musicians. How did that come about?
Years ago musicians started approaching me over Flickr to shoot and direct for them, and the first major band to ask was Ladytron. I’ve worked with the group a bunch of times since and have always appreciated their role in pulling me out of obscurity.  After I shot a few bands the whole process began to have a sort of snowball effect. Before you know you it you’ve photographed twenty of your favorite bands. That’s sort of what happened with me.

     Music has always had a major influence on all of my work and also my life in general. The spirit of psychedelia is always spinning around in my mind when I’m working, and I try and keep that energy alive in my studio. I’ve always admired artists that push the boundaries of their sound and vision and approach their performance like a freak. There’s something powerful about letting art take over your soul.


If you were to pick a soundtrack for Pulp Art Book, what would it be? 
Probably the Vampires Sound Incorporation, especially the song “The Lions and the Cucumber”. That track pretty much sums up what we’re all about.  


What’s your favorite song at the moment? 
NEIL: Right now, an old psych-garage tune from The Outcasts called ‘Loving you Sometimes’.
JONI: For me it would have to be ‘Isis’ by Bob Dylan.
