About ART AXIS
We are two weeks away from ART AXIS. ART AXIS is an Art Exhibition benefiting the Children's Home Society of Florida. Abused. Abandoned. Forgotten. These are the children, The Children's Home Society of Florida protects, guides, and loves. It’s through the generosity of our caring friends that they are able to change children’s lives and transform our communities. But recent governmental cuts have already reduced funding to Florida’s child protection services by nearly $19 million. As the tough economy challenges families and increases burdens on overwhelmed parents and their innocent children, they need our support more than ever.
At ART AXIS we will be collecting donations & 100% of the donations will go to the Children's Home Society of Florida, the artists will also give 20% from any sales during the event. No donation is considered too small & if you cant afford to donate money feel free to look up a charity organization and donate your time. Its time for us to start giving back to our communities, so lets all get involved.
ART AXIS will feature my photography along with Phil Fung, Josafat Miranda and Newton Wallace and is curated by Ada Balcacer.
The works can be viewed at: www.rogerbstillz.com www.philfung.com flickr: Josafat Miranda www.artistsites.org/luminor13 www.abrogallery.com
This event takes place on August 8th 2009 from 6pm-10pm at the Miami Art Space 244 NW 35th Street Miami, FL 33127 (Design District)

Bombs Away
It's been a while since I've done a shoot because I've been on the road traveling lately. On my way to the shoot when Im getting off the exit I heard a noise when I hit my brakes; I'm like how could this be? I just got my brakes replaced during the week. I kept driving a bit but that wasn't working out so I had to pull over and park my car. What a way to start off the shoot right? Anyways the shoot had to go on so I just called the tow truck while shooting because we all know they take forever to get to you. So finally I'm shooting this idea that I had in my mind for the longest and now I have it in the physical to show :) I haven't started editing the pictures yet and Im please to say I like the look of things so far. I must thank my makeup artist Clivia who is always on time and I hope she keeps it up :) thanks to my model Dominique and the stylist Jazmane who did a great job of what we had to work with. I don't think that the black booths gonna make the cut though Jazmane lol. Thanks to everyone for making my idea come to life. Pictures will be posted soon so stay tuned to my website www.rogerbstillz.com
Why they look like that I don't know LOL Maybe because it was very HOT when we were shooting :)
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there and to the fathers that play the role as a mother :)

Yesterday I had my first public viewing and I would like to say a SPECIAL thanks to Newton Wallace for allowing me to display my work alongside his and I would also like to thank my friend Gian for helping out with everything. Thanks to all my friends who came out and supported. I'm working on doing a few more viewings and will keep you updated once things are finalized. Overall it was a wonderful experience and looking forward to having everyone back at the next one.
Thanks again
