Nikki Sixx will be at IRIS Nights next Thursday night with critic and journalist Kristine McKenna to discuss his new book "This is Gonna Hurt: Photography and Life Through the Distorted Lens of Nikki Sixx". Unlike the other IRIS Nights, tickets are limited to one per person and there'll be no standby line.
The book begins discussing his obsession with photography that not coincidentally started once he got clean. There are stories (and the photos) from crack houses, brothels, and staged photo shoots in his studio known as Funny Farm. All of this ties into Nikki’s belief that everything is beautiful in its own way. There are no models in this book, but instead what others may consider freaks or grotesque take center stage in this gallery. (via)
Passes are available tomorrow, Wednesday Aug 17th at noon and Thursday Aug 18th and 9:30 am. RSVP here.
