OUTSIDER ARTISTS TO APPEAR AT LV MUSIC AND FASHION EXPO!!!

I'm a local artist from Bethlehem, PA, and I if I had to classify my style, I'd call myself an outsider artist.
I'm currently working on a few different sets including: 'The Abstract Celebrity Set' in which I take old magazine photos of celebrities, and give them a new, colorful, abstract twist.

Another set I've also been working on is called, 'MOP$ Monsters' (which has a Pop Art/Graffiti feel)is made up of these monster characters with big eyes, and big teeth. There is usually a pop culture reference, or 2 within each painting as well.

I dabble in many other artistic mediums including: Ink, Photography, Music, Charcoal etc... although Paint Markers, and Acrylic are my weapons of choice.

My paintbrush is a full extension of my being. My name is Jessica Echevarria, and art is my life.



My name is Edwin Echevarria and I was born, and raised in Bethlehem,PA.
I feel as though my art reflects natural human abnormalities, physical deformities, and society . I find random canvas such as wood, cardboard, and foamboard.
I use art mediums such as acrylic, oil, and spray paint...etc

I like to simplify still life, objects, and humans in my paintings.

I don't care about the money, I'm in it for the admiration in ones ability to create.

BREAKING NEWS: REDLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT to perform at THE LEHIGH VALLEY MUSIC AND FASHION EXPO !!!

Red aka The Rising Sun spent his early childhood living all over parts of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Red was a die hard hip hop fanatic listening to everyone from Tupac Shakur, Wu Tang Clan, Pete Rock, and Kanye West. Those influences soon played a part in helping him develop the craft of writing rap music, making beats, and becoming an "Unsung Legend" in his own right. He met another local MC named Initial, and this led them to create demos, mixtapes, and albums releases:" WhenThe Mirror Breaks", titled under Dark Reflektion and" In The Building" under B.T.W. "Blood Thicker Then Water". They won local talent shows and were one of the first rap acts to perform at MUSIKFEST, which is one of the biggest music events in the United States! He is currently an artist, producer, and CEO of the company Redlight Productions.
The company is comprised of brothers Army Gunz and Tsunami, cousins
J. Sweetz, Loco P., Bones, and long time friend, Initial.
In 2007, they released "Hood Ties" and then later, his solo album "Unsung Legend", to great raves and reviews. He earned 5 Lehigh Valley nominations in 2008, emerged victorious in a double elimination beat battle, released another group album "Redlight Chronicles" and released 2 mixtapes "Welcome 2 Redlight City Vol. 1" and "So Far So Close." which earned him 10 Lehigh Valley nominations.

True to form, Redlight Productions, recently, won the 2009 Lehigh Valley Music Award for "BEST HIP HOP ARTIST" and "CD OF THE YEAR"!
IN 2010, Red released another masterpiece entitled, "THE SOUND OF MY SOUL." and recently released a phenomenal mixtape, "REVENGE OF THE NERDS", which is taking the Internet World by storm!

Red has established himself as a force to be reckoned with, and isn't afraid to take risks and show why Allentown, PA is indeed, "Redlight City."

BREAKING NEWS: ELIZABETH DEVINE, STREET PHOTOGRAPHER, TO APPEAR AT LEHIGH VALLEY MUSIC AND FASHION EXPO !!!

DEVINE IMAGES by LIZZ: STREET PHOTOGRAPHY

I can Finally put a title to what I do. I provide a detailed record of biker culture in an UP set world....
Shooting Bikes and bikers is something that has come to me for my love to be free. I attend many events and ride on many runs. I have done A.B.A.T.E. toy runs for The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, at least 25,000 bikers attend . I cover many events shooting and writing , for Fast Lane Biker New York And Pennsylvania. I have a monthly column in Fast Lane New York. My Street Photography shows a pure vision of something, like a view in a mirror to Bikers. I ride back seats Through Many Cities and States and record and report it all back to you. My photography often tends to be ironic and right to the point. In your face and loud and clear. Some may see it distanced from the subject matter but often concentrated on a single human moment. All caught at a decisive or poignant place in time. Some people narrow it down to urban settings , how ever I ride the rides with you. Up down and all around. Yes you will see me in my high heeled sneakers a back pack filled with cameras. You will never see me in a studio but will always see me along on the ride. Someone always has a back seat open and wants to hold proof as to where they have been , extra pair of eyes to see what they may miss. How many times do you see a photographer at an event standing on the sidelines ? How can you get the true feeling , the meaning of the day, if you are not riding a bike? My love and respect amongst bikers is a heart felt passion. A biker who shoots, Shoots their passion, their freedom , their desires. A depth of field unspoken. Devine Images By Lizz is Street Photography & Writer of Street Passions . I ride Back Seats , Till The Day Comes, That I ride My Own From the Greater Lehigh Valley , Shooting at Bike Nights Mezza Luna And Maingate you will see My Photography set up and on sale.. Traveling Through Out All Of Pennsylvania , riding back seats Of Motor Cycles. Capturing Your History, One Town One City At a Time. MY Home Site Is; http://www.devineimagesbylizz.com Meet My 2,000 friends at;Biker Or Not, Where I am Ranked #2 Out of over 200,700 members. This is where I get over 200 hits per day

Introduce yourself to me on Facebook

Lizz Devine Born in Philadelphia Pa , I too have street smarts. My shoots are just that. The drive the passion comes from what I see.I shoot nature Mountains and Buildings, There is no limit to what I shoot. Shooting Bikes and bikers is something that has come to me for my love to be free. I shoot at times on a race track going 90 miles per hour. I will do what it takes at the moment, Im so free in doing what I do, what ever it may be. Things Worth Repeating Do Get Repeated; I shoot so they call me a photographer, I write so they call me a writer. What I am , what I truly am Is a Person with a passion, The passion to be free, to be free To Be Me.
