"Hey Selfvation Guys Gals and Non Binary pals

My name is Justin ( you can call me ED) I am a car guy and photographer who is located in greenville and wants to capture this culture as i see it. My pieces are inspired by many things, But outside of cars one of the main things my works are inspired by are the music that i am listening to while i am working on it.

With that i wanted a place to put all the inspirations and works in progress as well as well as the thought behind them.

what drew me to cars in the first place was a random moment in my life that wouldn’t be Significant to others.

When i was little ( like middle school age.) i was walking home from detention ( don’t ask me why school kept me in detention until like 6 or 7 at night.) Rambling aside i was walking home with my parents when i hear the roar of cars and as i turn around my view is filled with neon green and red. Keep i mind this is the era where the neon tubes were a thing.

They flew by and didn’t even bother with the red light or stop sign ( dangerous yes, should you do it …no, was it the best thing i had ever seen in my life at that point also yes.) At that moment i knew i wanted to be a part of that world in some way shape form or fashion.

Turns out that is in Art which is where this whole thing comes full circle i am a photographer and i also love car and turning them into art. There a few examples in here somewhere.

With this set i was inspired by skate magazines in the late 90s as they had this crunch to them. It was also combined with fashion as i had the idea that these would look good on a white t-shirt ( kept forgetting to put them on one as and experiment.)

Some of the music that inspired this set was

Greenday -when i come around

Billy Talent - Rebel Flag

Sum 41 - Walking Disaster

Simple Plan - Welc

ome to my life"
