 The first part of the “Mr. Bipolar” series, completed in 2008, focuses on the extremely disturbing, tumultuous “highs” – bordering upon “psychotic” – of the episodic mania experienced within Bipolar I disorder. The continuation of this series will explore the “Mr. Bipolar” character more comprehensively, throughout all other symptomatic aspects of the disorder. Shooting for “Mr. Bipolar” will take place in Austin, TX, where the model now resides. “Icarus” will be shot in Dallas, TX. The Icarus character-study follows the mythological themes of Icarus, though made accessible and set within the modern-day cubicle-”labyrinth” familiar to most Americans, visually inspired by Terry Gilliam’s Brazil. “Icarus” will be more prop/costume-intensive and will be more “cinematic” aesthetically. 


the icarus photos will be more similar to this dude's work
