Another contributor to the cess pool of US party imagery is LA born, now NY street artist/painter/photographer Christofer Chin (aka Tofer). To tell you the truth, cliched photographs of alouf, skinny, half naked cool kids destroying themselves in a sea of booze, drugs, vomit and saliva is getting a little old but anyway... The thing is, Tofer's different. Yes, some of his photos are a little on the obvious side but his paintings are freaking awesome. He combines almost architectural style, nu wave, abstract geometric patterns with with colourful contrasting splashes of colour. I like.
Check some samples of his paintings and some random photos from his book
