Lord of the Yum-Yum


Lord of the Yum-Yum
This is musician Paul Velat - aka Lord of the Yum-Yum from Chicago. I caught his set at The Royal Oaks while visiting my friend Eric in Youngstown. It was amazing. He uses only his voice combined with a loop pedal to put on a hilarious show. You can get an idea of what he sounds like on his MySpace page, but you definitely need to check him out live.
Anyways - on Sunday he came over my place to chill before his Akron show. I had a shoot to do for a friend and he sat in for my test shots. I was so happy with this "test shot" that I had to post it. I think its my favorite portrait I've ever done...
