Meet Dave Green

Dave_Green_home
Meet Dave Green. I’ve had the privilege of being friends with Dave for more than 15 years. Our friendship began when we attended the South Shore Charter School together. During that time, Dave had recorded the band I was in, Sweeps, and he even filled in on bass for us during multiple occasions when he wasn’t playing out with his band, Pony. From the breezy band-stand show on Nantasket Beach, to a foggy Halloween show at the Sea Note in Hull, where we caused much chaos that it was deemed as the last all ages show in that venue. In between we even scored a show at the famous CBGB’s while we were teenagers!

Dave went on to attend school for audio engineering. Like most people, he ended up doing something that he did not go to school for. In his case, it was photography. Everything Dave has learned was on his own via the internet or through chatting with other people.

Reminiscing of the past, we rummaged through a wooden crate of Dave’s featured photography. In between all of the Vater Percussion catalogs, we pulled out a heavy stash of Johnny Cupcakes relics.

My first Johnny Cupcakes t-shirts, look books, events, videos, and store grand openings were shot by Dave. His photography and my brand were both born together and have grown up over time.

 

The creation of my first look book had gotten us kicked out of the Dream Machine Arcade in Hull. However, the second JC look book brought us to New york City. Dave shot with his arsenal of equipment, while I directed each photo-shoot with my trash bags full of toys and props. Although we zipped around on a tight schedule, that team work lead to a successfully produced booklet.

In addition to the beautiful photography and layout, Dave helped me implement a few personal surprises in my second look book (see close up of newspaper above).

 

 

Out of everything Dave has shot for the Johnny Cupcakes brand, I’d have to say that my favorite is this video of the Johnny Cupcakes Water Bottle Contest above.

Dave and I have not only remained good pals with one another, but we have remained very close with the majority of people who we had surrounded ourselves with back in high school. Boating adventures to local haunted islands, vicious volleyball tournaments, dinner parties, board-game nights, and holiday celebrations are just a few drips in the coffee cup full of the monthly activities that we rotate with splendor.

Dave has photographed a whole slew of drummers who play for artists, such as Brian Fasier of Madonna, Derrick Wright of Adele, Josh Freese of A Perfect Circle / NIN / The Vandals / Devo, George “Spanky” McCurdy of Lady Gaga / Kanye West, and Al Wilson of Taylor Swift.

 

Explore Dave’s world and give him a digital high-five!

Johnny Cupcakes London: Dodgeball

 

Last week Johnny Cupcakes London held its first-ever dodgeball event. The turnout was great and everyone in attendance had a blast. Teams were cheering other teams on through some friendly competition, which built all sorts of excitement. Our friend Andy Stedman was instrumental in the night being a great success as he and his team helped referee and organize everything. The overall response was so great that they’ll surely be hosting another dodgeball night soon! Enjoy the video above, as well as the photo recap by Derek Bremner.

Join us on June 16th for the grand opening of Johnny Cupcakes Martha’s Vineyard! My family is from Martha’s Vineyard and many of them still live there to this day, so this location means a whole lot to us! Below you’ll find some photos of the space we’ll be inhabiting. It will of course look nothing as it does right now by the time we are done doing our magic, but we wanted to give you a little preview! Stay tuned for more hints and sneak peeks!
