So we decided to spice up
Frikkie Awesome a bit, and have a section dedicated to creatives! Be it design,
photography, fine art, sculpture, you name it, if its related to the creative world
then it will be found here. We thought about having an “Artist of the week”
type of vibe, where we will be posting artists we think that you guys should
check out! We are going do this in association with our good friend Xander vander Merwe and will keep the posts coming weekly. So let us know what you think,
and in the mean time, check out this weeks chosen artist. Photographer Ryan
McGinley…
Ryan McGinley is an American photographer born in 1977, Ramsey, New
Jersey. In 1999, Ryan McGinley did a B.F.A. in
Graphic Design, Parsons School of Design, New York. He began his photography
career at the age of 18, a year later he

entitled “The Kids Are Alright”.

and created by using his

the beauty of nudity and imperfection .
“Photography I about freezing a
moment in time, McGinley’s is about freezing a stage in a life time” Jeffrey
