I always look back at the early late 90s to 2000s fondly. A blur of classic music videos that would be seen as campy in today's terms. So many had these under tones of raw sexualism and higher power elements that always seemed to mesh oddly well. Please enjoy the project below.
Thanks for stopping by,

Doodled Gunslingers is a series of illustrated photos shot by commercial photographer Derek Heisler with linework by Mr. Woody Woods. These guys are real american stuntmen from the northwest. Mr. Woody Woods has used illustrations that compliment the originals by using elements that represent their career and history. Adding more character to their very characterful faces.

It's about the car, the girl and the road. All distractions we need. The open road gives us the freedom to stretch our wings and refresh. The car gives us the power we need to travel through miles and miles of thoughts. And the girl, the girl. Music reminds you of her, glimpses of her smile in your peripheral. She's the angel and the devil on your shoulder on an adventure we all need to take. Take a deep breath, this is what life is about.

Light and dark. Polar opposites that require many shades of bending and blending to reach either end of the spectrum. The day night cycle of Sol (our sun) follows this practice. Like the rising and setting of a sun, our lives and personalities find themselves in the same such dance. Between light and dark, the Soul finds itself. We transform as we grow, and every new experience either drives us closer to light or dark. Some need to experience true darkness before they realize the importance of the light. Others shine brightly to lead the way for others. What side do you find yourself on?
