2005-2006 RECAPPED:
S.L.A.T. DESIGNS came about after working w. a Local band to North Carolina, Lab Ratz. I was doing Show/Promo Photography, as well as, other Various Design Work such as, CD Covers, Venue Posters and Promo packet. I saw there was a Need by Bands for to have access to Economical Photography & Design Services....so in Mid 2005 S.L.A.T. DESIGNS was born.Since that time I've had the opportunity to Photograph many bands fm the N.C./S.C./GA. as well as a few National Acts....Mother's Finest, John Hayes Project, Fusebox & Nantucket. Why / How SLAT Designs came to Be:
In late 2000 after being Daignosed w. an extremely rare liver disaese I lost a $45K+ year job & was placed on disability. It was in 2004-2005 time frame I had the Op to work w the above mentioned band the Lab Ratz.
So thought I'd take my Love of Photography & Design to provide these services to bands, etc as a small way to help supplement my Diability payments. From this I've had the Op to Tour w. Mother's Finest & Nantucket doing Merch Sales & Designs / Photography.
