London born, he has resided in New York for the past 35 years. He has shot over 100 album covers. But he in reality never shopped photographing and image making. His recent subjects include Snoop Dogg, Father John Misty, Lenny Kravitz , Janelle Monae, Jimmy Fallon, The Black Keys, Alicia Keys, Michael Buble, Daft Punk, Perry Farrell, Motley Crue,, Pharrell, Josh Groban, Flaming Lips, Kings of Leon, R. Kelly, The Black Lips , Queens of The Stone Age, and the list goes on. Mick Rock was instrumental in creating many key rock 'n' roll images, such as album covers for Syd Barrett's "Madcap Laughs", Lou Reed's "Transformer" His latest publication "The Rise of David Bowie 1972-1973" (with David Bowie), (Taschen Books, published September 2015): a spectacular limited edition co-signed with Bowie, sold out just before David's death. A documentary about his career, produced by Vice Films and Straight Up Films, called 'SHOT!', was launched at the Tribeca Film Festival in April 2016. The doc is being distributed by Magnolia Pictures and was released theatrically in Spring 2017. He recently shot a major fashion campaign for the Gucci brand in Rome, which was published worldwide in the spring of 2018. Alessandro Michele, the groundbreaking designer for Gucci, said: "I love my collaboration with Mick. We made beautiful images together. I respect him as a great fellow artist and imagemaker." More About The Jewelry Studio's Robert Pepkin: A Long Island native, Robert Pepkin attended the Pratt Institute for Fine Art before working with fine jewelry artist Marla Mencher for extra income. He found inspiration in a new kind of art that people could wear. After a chance meeting with Francis Ford Coppola's father Carmine, he was hired to work on the set design of their production of "Opera on the Sound." Additionally, Robert's bold illustrations have graced pages from Penthouse to Reader's Digest. Pepkin continued to get more involved in the design and creation of jewelry and eventually opened "The Jewelry Studio." During his 40 year career as an artist and jeweler, he has been inspired by countless artists both inside and outside his field. Yet, he gets his greatest inspiration from working with his client's sentimental items and other designers' creation of timeless pieces. He finds equal inspiration in the work of Mick Rock, who he met over 30 years ago. "The attraction to Mick's work for me comes from the many theatrical undertones, from the drama behind the legendary black and white Queen II album cover to capturing the dramatic poses of Iggy Pop on stage — all of his shots capture the spirit of the artist or band he works with. The same has gone for me when trying to create something that someone will wear. You have to capture their spirit because the pieces become part of them and part of their own history." Through David Glicker, a mutual friend and promoter, the two artists have reconnected to collaborate on this very special event.
