The White Porch
20 pages, 11x14 inches, hardcover linen
Like the porch, neither inside nor outside the home, the seventeen-year-old girls in Los Angeles exist in a liminal space; they spill out into the city at night, cherish their secrets, and love the spaces they can call their own. For them, the bedroom window is a two-way street.
You Are Here.
64 pages, 8.5 x 11 inches
Collection of portraits and interviews of 15 people in the New York music scene, from the 14-year-old hardcore kids to the 62-year-old club-goers. I created this as a kind of roadmap for people looking to get into the music industry in hopes that it could disillusion the parts of it that aren’t made to be seen.
The first half, “Getting In,” features stories like learning to mosh, the (debated) value of music education, the catharsis of screaming, and how to book a show. The second half, “Once You’re in,” shifts to the infrastructure: the managers, publicists, talent buyers, record store owners, designers, and photographers and how they landed in their role.
You are here to see the music.
Being a teenager in a foreign land and infiltrating a big city’s music scene isn’t easy, but that’s precisely what our former intern @cchloemoon and friends get up to in issue 74 of Monster Children, available now at the link in our bio.
This is awesome thank you @monsterchildren
Always a pleasure to hangout with my friends and then make something out of it??
