MIAMI ARTIST'S SKULL PHOTOS FEATURED ON THE CW NETWORK'S THE VAMPIRE DIARIES
South Florida-based Photographer/Visual Artist Jonathan Brooks' Skulls Featured on The CW's The Vampire Diaries Television Series


Miami, Florida (March 25, 2015)-

Skull images by award-winning Miami Photographer/Visual Artist Jonathan Brooks will be featured on The CW's hugely popular and award-winning television series The Vampire Diaries.

The season 6 episode, number 618, is titled I Could Never Love Like That, and airs April 16,2015 at 8 pm.

"I've loved vampires since I was a kid," says Brooks. "From the books of Bram Stoker and Anne Rice, to films like the classic Dracula starring Bela Lugosi to the modern 30 Days Of Night."

He recalled the phone call he received in mid February. "Hey, we want to use some of your images on our little show The Vampire Diaries," said Season Six Art Director Rosa Palomo of Bonanza Productions. "Lucky us!"

The show will be using quite a few of his photographs and excitement is spreading. The photographer is having a viewing party for the episode at Deli Lane's Sunset Tavern in South Miami and has an exhibit called Darkroom scheduled at Pitman Photo in Pinecrest for the month of April.

Brooks' image Love Floats was just featured on the German TV primetime show 'Nur die Liebe zählt' (Only Love Counts) on German SAT.1 Television, West Elm will soon be carrying Dreams from his Cloud series, and his image Over The Rainbow won Best In Show 2014 Photo Of The Year at the inaugural Miami Photo Salon during Miami's prestigious art week.

His new self-published book The True Cuba is available on Amazon and many of Miami's fine book stores.

Follow him at JonathanBrooks.net.

Hi, it's been a busy summer for me. Hope you'll check out the Summer Salon exhibition at the Van Der Plas Gallery at 156 Orchard Street in NYC. It's a great group show with lots of interesting work from established and emerging artists from NY and other parts of the world and features a painting from my Milagros Series. It's based on Milagros (miracles), small religious charms that have been used in Mexico and other areas of Latin America for hundreds of years to petition saints for guidance, help and protection. Milagros are made in many different symbolic forms, from eyes, legs and arms to angels and animals. These religious charms are pinned to altars and statues of saints, the Virgin Mary and Jesus in churches throughout Latin America as prayer reminders or to thank the saint for prayers answered. Wishing you a great rest of summer!

This website is well put together, someone should go check out https://villagegallery.com/gallery/fabian-perez/ and tell me what is right/wrong with it, I will be checking the replies ever 24 hours.

I was a finalist in the natural and unnatural disasters exhibition. I would like to obtain a catalog. In addition to that I need you to know that my painting “After Irma It’s copyright protected by me with the US copyright office registration. It really cannot be printed in your catalog without my permission. I was not notified that you would be printing a catalog. So if it is in this catalog you must put the copyright symbol and my name Karen L Kirshner, “After Irma” 2017 all rights reserved. That’s the only way I will permit it to be printed. Please let me know you got this iMessage so that I don’t have to take legal action to ensure that you do it. I copyright with the US copyright office as well as sending myself registered mail of my images well while I’m waiting for the copyright to be issued. I’m very protective of my intellectual property. I’m glad that you chose it as a finalist but I knew nothing about a printed catalog. And then I have to pay for a copy of something that really I didn’t get permission to have printed. I will allow it if you send me a copy of the catalog and you have put that necessary copyright notice of mine with my painting.
