Last Thursday were the Raw Austin Awards It was a good time. Very good selection of artists of all kind from jewelers to hair to make up to painters and photographers. It was a very diverse event. There were some great models like Senatra as well as several dallas based models that get a lot of work up there. There were several bands they all kicked ass I can’t remember all the names. My friend and best helper ever Jennifer Kraack won best Hair so I was very happy for her. She does all the hair for SAPP South Austin Portrait Party. So I felt lucky to get to work with her. Check out RAW Austin’s website it is a very interesting concept. Go to the website to get a good understanding of what they do http://www.rawartists.org/austin

Here is their statement from the website

RAW:natural born artists is an independent arts organization, for artists, by artists.

Our mission is to provide independent artists of all creative genres, with the tools, resources and exposure needed to inspire and cultivate creativity. RAW educates emerging artists through seminars, workshops and insight to further the knowledge of their industry.

RAW connects them with one another so that they might grow together, while providing them with opportunities to give back to their own local youth communities through the arts.

We encourage the creative success of the many visionaries and storytellers of our generation.

RAW operates in 21 cities across the United States.

January Ended with a bang. On the last friday in January my engagement shoot ran late and so I got to the Charity Bash at stubbs a little late but I still had plenty of time to drink all the free beer and take pictures of the fellow Charity Bashers all of the proceeds benefited Haiti. Following that there was Austin Fashion 5 presented by a fellow Austin Blogger. Meredith Davis was awarded along with Rochelle Ray of Ray cosmetics Joanna Linden, the owner of estillo and one more lady I think a model. Alex Winkelman the head of Charity Bash was at the fashion 5 event, along with my favorite photographer Chad Harlan, tie designer Chris of Mint Owl, and music producer William Jackson. There were bottles there and they were being drained quickly. After that we went to everyone’s favorite west Austin spot The Ranch for Alex’s birthday. I’m sure you’ve seen their new ads in Rare magazine or my pictures from there. Ooo and that was a good one. Alex’s party was a blast, I got to meet all new people along with hanging out with many great friends.

Now I have to mention somebody special Nick Baker the man who wishes he was an austinite. We lived together in Atlanta he moved to San Antonio and comes to visit Austin almost every weekend. He is my sidekick on my downtown adventures, and my personal driver. He gets mad at me for not having his picture up so here is a whole section of his pictures.
