Background Info collects material that captures the behind-the-scenes story, or in which I was best able to illuminate the thinking behind my art and career. Some of these have good drama, some are chosen because they answer basic questions succinctly.

Interviews + Press collects the most quotable of the interviews I've done as well as a handful of stories that show my work from different angles.

Press Releases have been written with an eye towards engaging, literate copy and may be freely quoted at any length. I don't like to be bored any more than you do, so I've tried to make them fun as well as informative.

Or just ask me: I'm quite open to answering questions or doing interviews by phone, skype or email. Mobile: 231.584.2710 (9 to 5 PST only) | Email | Twitter

Probably the most dramatic firebowl photo is this one from RumFire at the Sheraton Waikiki.

Photo Permissions + How to Download

Publication rights require artist attribution (as John T. Unger) and inclusion of URL (www.johntunger.com). I love it when people feel inspired to write about my work, but the name and link must be included.

Print quality images can be downloaded from the sets below, which are hosted on Flickr.com. If you do not have a Flickr account, or have trouble downloading, email me a link to the photo you're looking for and I will provide you with the image (It's best to send a link to the photo rather than a description of it because there are 1000's of "photos of a firebowl" online).

If you're not familiar with downloading images from flickr, watch this quick video tutorial to see how easy it is. Each set has photos for specific items, or you can browse all the sets here.
