Thoughts?
I'll give anyone +100 Karma if they can guess who the subject is!

New Photograph, by jamesreeve5 on Feb 10, 2008 23:27:59 GMT 1, I am terrible at continuing the guessing game. It's cleon peterson... but this guess below was probably the closest based on this forum's general reactions about Cleon's art (although some do like his stuff, including me)
His brother, Leigh is currently getting his MFA at Columbia in NY.

That was the first person I thought of.
A story behond the photo might help with the appreciation of it. Any ideas James?

New Photograph, by jamesreeve5 on Feb 11, 2008 1:29:39 GMT 1, Scavos, good point about that. I really didn't appreciate Leigh LeDare's work or Cleon Peterson's work until I found out the story behind these two, so maybe this will help a few other members on this board appreciate it a bit more as well.
The photo itself is of Cleon Peterson on his birthday in 2001.
This is what I have been told about them: Cleon and Leigh are brothers. Cleon is the older brother, and they were pretty much left to fend for themselves at a young age. Their mother, a former dancer, dappled in drugs and had a string of boyfriends who were sometimes abusive to her and the boys. She often blamed her pregnancy with Cleon for ruining her formal dancing career. While the boys were growing up she got more into drugs and turned to stripping turned to stripping to earn money. Needless to say Leigh, and particularly Cleon had difficulties with drugs throughout their youth. Both however, have turned their life around in the last few years, and managed to finish college, and Leigh has continued by pursuing his MFA at Columbia University.
Leigh actually did a series of photographs of his mother with one of her young boyfriends that happens to be one of the most graphic, incestual, yet compelling series of photos I have ever seen. I think he might have gotten into the MFA program at Columbia with these, but I'm not sure.
This is the accurate story as far as I know. I hope this helps some people understand these two guys, and particularly Cleon whose work tends to get a mixed reception on this board.

New Photograph, by michaelscott on Feb 11, 2008 6:21:18 GMT 1, I'll add to what James has stated (which i have also heard to be said truth)Both Cleon and Leigh were into skateboarding, and moved to san diego, where Leigh was trying to break into skating, professionally, and Cleon was doing graphics on skateboards...and it was somewhere around this time, that Cleon met Shepard Fairey. Now, many years later, they are both creative directors of SWINDLE magazine, etc...
I like Cleon's work also. The first time i saw it, i kinda just passed over it...but found myself paying attention to it, from the corner of my eye. It was well worth the investigation. Disturbing Movement of chaotic beauty (never mind).
