Interview with a Publicist

I had a great chit chat with Lynn Hasty (@green_galactic) - my old publicist in Los Angeles - about how artists can self promote their work while staying true to their message. We also reminisced about the time we worked together in 2010. Lynn found my work online at the beginning of my career and invited me to photograph a fancy dog event in Hollywood. A few weeks later my Doggie Gaga Project went viral and I called Lynn in distress bc I needed a publicist. We worked together for one incredibly intense, exciting and overwhelming month, scheduling interviews on TV, radio and websites literally around the world. Everyone wanted to talk about The Doggie Gaga Project, and thank goodness I had Lynn to help me navigate the completely nutso-bananas viral energy that that project created.

Lynn is a wonderful publicist who values artists and all our weird quirks. She got me so many great media opportunities, including scoring my own Wikipedia page (which is not easy!). If you have 30minutes, this is a fun conversation about how we got through that crazy time, and how I've worked to stay relevant over the last decade. Thanks Lynn!
