That’s right, I’m famous. Uber famous!
A few months ago someone from a German publishing company contacted my business House Of Rave to possibly buy some of the wallpapers featured on the site. They wanted to use one of the pictures on the cover of an upcoming book about the techno club scene in the 1990’s till present (or something like that)…
They offered to pay me a nominal fee for the rights, but I declined (in order to keep the full rights) and requested a copy of the book plus photo credit if it was published using pictures I own. I figured since I own a rave company, I should probably help support the rave community in whatever way I can…and it seemed like it would be decent publicity too.
So I provided them the original high-res files to a few of the pictures they requested, and didn’t really expect anything to happen.
Just recently I got a package from Germany with two copies of the book, and they happened to use a picture taken by me, of me demonstrating a product! While you can’t clearly see my face, you can see the silhouette of my face (so excuse the opening line…my SILHOUETTE is Uber famous)!
Front Cover: 
Back cover: 
Side-by-side: 
That white line divide near the bottom quarter of the picture is actually a giant dry-erase board in my upstairs living room.
Photo credit on inside jacket: 
Here’s the German Amazon link to the book.
So a picture of my hands are on the front cover of a book. This reminds me of when The New York Times did a full photo shoot with me, then just used a picture of my nose…but they used a full picture of Jim!
Ok, I finally get what everyone’s trying to tell me:
I’m too good looking to be printed.
