Eric’s portrait of Michael Alig is selected as one of the winners in American Photography 35
May 8, 2019American Illustration and American Photography (AI-AP) is regarded by creative professionals as the “books of record” and best sources for today’s top image makers, and the AI-AP archive is a comprehensive gallery of current and past jury-selected images. We are thrilled that Creative Collective’s Eric van den Brulle has received the honor of “Chosen” image to appear in the online archive of ai-ap.com. Eric’s haunting image of Michael Alig captures the former club promoter, musician and writer, and founder of Club Kids, a NYC clubgoer phenomenon from the 80’s, after his release from prison, where he served 17 years for murdering his drug dealer. Eric’s image was chosen as one of 350, from over 7,000 submitted.
