This 10"h x 24"w overall (7"h x 23"w image size) digital photographic print is from an edition of 100, signed, titled and numbered by the photographer, Jay Blakesberg. The photo was taken during a portrait session done on 8/29/97 in Blakesberg’s Bay-area studio.
The session occurred just a couple of months after the release of Byrne’s solo record titled Feelings (on Warner Bros. Records). The record was a fairly eclectic mix of tracks featuring an interesting mix of musicians and producers, including Luka Bop, Paula Cole, Devo’s Mark Mothersbaugh and Morcheeba. The record’s cover art featured a photo of a David Byrne doll created by pop artist Yuji Yoshimoto. Was this the “Wicked Little Doll” that was the subject of a song by the same title on this record (built on Devo-esque beats, for sure).
