Hello to you!
February 8th, 2010 at 3:09 am
@Sammy thank you glad you enjoy!
February 8th, 2010 at 3:10 am
@tyler Why are you always awake?!
February 8th, 2010 at 3:10 am
I wrote I love you on my ex girlfriend once, I really wish I wouldn’t have.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:10 am
Yea, I’ve had a lot of both… Oddly shaped cocks seem to be the biggest hit when drawing on someone haha
February 8th, 2010 at 3:13 am
OMG Is that thing real? That’s a whole lotta hair! It kind of looks like a tree, or a shield. Maybe a cross? I think you could give that thing cornrows.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:13 am
I second Jacine’s question! You’re a darn insomniac.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:13 am
Is it just me or is this dudes nips really close together?
February 8th, 2010 at 3:15 am
Why sleep when I could be shooting… I wasnt built to sleep or rest I was built to do this
February 8th, 2010 at 3:16 am
I never think of anything interesting to say, it’s usually something unimaginative like “I am a douche”…
Morning from England btw
February 8th, 2010 at 3:17 am
Its just you, but I’m surprised you can see his nipples at all under that cloak of darkness
February 8th, 2010 at 3:19 am
LOL! Nice answer!! I bet you can’t live without photography!
February 8th, 2010 at 3:19 am
what would you do if someone wrote this on you?
February 8th, 2010 at 3:21 am
I gave my friend a hitler stash one night after he passed out from drinkin all day. he had that thing for 4 days shit was hilarious. I also gave the same guy an eye patch once.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:23 am

February 8th, 2010 at 3:24 am
SASQUATCH LIVES!
February 8th, 2010 at 3:24 am
Hey!!!
Crazy! Pic:)
Mmm…never written anything.
You?
February 8th, 2010 at 3:24 am
I’m ok with being a piece of meat…. I’ve been treated and called a lot worse. A piece of meat actually sounds sexy
February 8th, 2010 at 3:24 am
what’s sleep? this is great.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:24 am
Dunno.. For my age.. Still not thinking about these kind of stuff! Just love everything that you post on this site! (don’t ask my age. lol) .. Hmm.. btw, it’s not late night here.. haha.. I’m not living anywhere in the U.S.A ..
It’s just like 6:30pm here! lol
February 8th, 2010 at 3:25 am
I cant lie i have written on a few people!
February 8th, 2010 at 3:25 am
DUDE the nips are like bright red beady eyes blazing through a dark wool mane!!!
February 8th, 2010 at 3:26 am
@Jacine Juta dont ask dont tell! Glad you enjoy
February 8th, 2010 at 3:28 am
I seriously love seeing your photographs. Can you be my photographer teacher??? Seriously, I’m in love with your skilletz
February 8th, 2010 at 3:28 am
@tyler You’re welcome! I hope Haley would join the chat sometimes..
February 8th, 2010 at 3:28 am
@rachel sleep is overrated!
February 8th, 2010 at 3:28 am
@Jacine Juta haley bennett?
February 8th, 2010 at 3:31 am
Nope.. Ramm.. hahaha..
February 8th, 2010 at 3:32 am
I forgot that there are a lot of people named haley!
February 8th, 2010 at 3:32 am
Do you ever meet fans? What’s your favorite hang out place in LA?
February 8th, 2010 at 3:33 am
@Jorleny Just pick up a camera and begin the madness
February 8th, 2010 at 3:34 am
maybe a diptych of male and female having “piece of meat written all of them.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:35 am
That’s the problem, I don’t know where to start :/ but seeing your images make me think I can’t do better. Why bc you’re GOOD!
February 8th, 2010 at 3:36 am
good answer. there’s always too much to do, never enough time. night shots are sweeter anyway!
February 8th, 2010 at 3:38 am
I’m sure that there are a lot of awesome places there in LA where you can take pictures.. I wanna have a vacation there on summer..
February 8th, 2010 at 3:43 am
@Jacine oh, there is a lot of pretty places to visit LA! Maybe Tyler should b our tour guide
February 8th, 2010 at 3:45 am
Yeaaah!! Tyler should bring us there! LOL
February 8th, 2010 at 3:46 am
@Jorleny it doesnt matter if your good when you start only if your good when you finish
February 8th, 2010 at 3:47 am
He should, shouldn’t he? Haha the first time I’m actually talking to Tyler, it’s actually pretty cool. Hey Tyler, you should take a picture of someone getting shocked and there body saying “electrifying” hahaha
February 8th, 2010 at 3:49 am
@Tyler aww that’s so sweet of you!! When you say finish you mean Photoshop?
February 8th, 2010 at 3:56 am
no i do not mean photoshop if you want to be a good photographer learn how to take photos with out using photoshop
February 8th, 2010 at 4:06 am
I’ve never written anything on someone else, nor have they written words on me. I have been mehendi-ed though — does that count?
Persephone
February 8th, 2010 at 4:06 am
That’s impossible, everyone uses Photoshop to hense the photo better. That’s what I thought. See, that’s why I need u to teach me! How about for the lighting? Do u use a lamp? This is too hard!! I’ll never get it :/
February 8th, 2010 at 4:14 am
i did an entire book using zero photoshop!
February 8th, 2010 at 4:16 am
Where can I buy this book of urs?
February 8th, 2010 at 4:18 am
Am I too late for a little chat? If not, morning Tyler…good to see you’re still abusing your body (and other people’s) in the name of Art! I think your defining stylistic feature is the floodlit “we’ve caught you” feel to your exposures (that pun is intended)! x
February 8th, 2010 at 4:22 am
By the way, general photography/film question for you what makes a shot: the eye of the photographer/filmmaker or the quality of the camera?
February 8th, 2010 at 4:24 am
I once wrote the name of each bone on somebody. It was the most effect study method I have used so far.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:25 am
@SHOOTtheSUN the eye is the key for sure a good camera is nice but it can only take you so far
February 8th, 2010 at 4:27 am
@Jorleny Umm, I don’t use Photoshop either when I take photos. The most I do is crop & resize.
Persephone
February 8th, 2010 at 4:31 am
I guess I was wrong. But Photoshop does make the photos bright.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:33 am
@Tyler thanks for the help. I really appreciate it. Much love n light! Also, have a blessed night.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:40 am
Tyler, thank you! I am so glad you said that (about the eye over camera), it’s what I keep telling people too. I am hugely inspired visually by music, and I it’s obvious that you are too. What came first for your “2009″ video – Muse or the putting together (roughly) of the shots?
February 8th, 2010 at 4:40 am
picked the song then made the video you have to make them to the song when theres that much footage
February 8th, 2010 at 4:42 am
By the way, a virtual hug and a jolt of positive electricity to keep your creative juices flowing! x
February 8th, 2010 at 4:44 am
It was a superb song choice (and I’m not a huge Muse fan for some reason). You keep mentioning that you are writing – do you mean a storyboard/script? Or are you writing your memoirs (not THAT would be an interesting read for sure…). x
February 8th, 2010 at 4:45 am
Copyright question: do you get permission to use the music, because a lot of people have their soundtracks removed on YouTube for breach of copyright!
February 8th, 2010 at 4:54 am
Writing a movie and writing some stuff for the dirty side of glamor all very fun!
February 8th, 2010 at 4:58 am
I’m so looking forward to both…re the book: can I reserve a signed copy now (or will you charge me $1000 for the privilege?!). lol Take care of your sweet self, Tyler, and never lose ‘the personal touch’ – it’s refreshing and generous. x
February 8th, 2010 at 5:01 am
@tyler Ooo — movie! DO tell more about that! And when the book is coming out too, if you have a date for that yet.
Persephone
February 8th, 2010 at 5:18 am
no date for either of them yet should have something to announce on the book soon tho!
February 8th, 2010 at 5:40 am
Wad up!
Can’t wait for the book!
1-2 years is a long time!!
Is that you in the pic?
February 8th, 2010 at 5:51 am
hmm never had written anything on anyone or had them write on me. I remember a friend who let his kids color with their markers on his back and then accidentally wore a white shirt into work and you could see it through the shirt though!
February 8th, 2010 at 9:58 am
now that’s my kinda meat. hehe.
February 8th, 2010 at 2:24 pm
ohw is that mr. Quinto?
February 8th, 2010 at 3:50 pm
Craziest thing I’ve ever written on someone? Hmmm; probably- ‘I love the way she tastes.’ It’s the first thing off the top of my head, there’s probably another one in my cranium somewhere…
^^
February 8th, 2010 at 5:21 pm
I once wrote on my best friend’s chest “Not a douche anymore” to celebrate him getting his act together. Haha
February 8th, 2010 at 8:40 pm
I like to draw tattoo sleeves on my forearm in pen sometimes.
Though I did write, “To Ricochet. My beautiful buttercup. We shall purge the nonbelievers and then snack on cupcakes whist atop a mound of zombies. Love, Nobunaga.” on a friend’s arm recently.
And I can remember a friend drawing a toilet by my elbow.
February 8th, 2010 at 10:17 pm
Tyler, I’m honestly just like…so glad I discovered you and your photography. It’s been a few years now and I guess I never really realized how big of an impact you’ve had on me. Your work’s amazing and I’m gonna keep being a loyal fan as long as you keep showing the world your vision. You’re talented as fuck, Tyler Shields. and I appreciate you for that.
February 8th, 2010 at 10:26 pm
@Shannon D i will never stop! Thank you so much for your amazing words
February 8th, 2010 at 10:41 pm
my friend and i in history usually draw random shit on each other..today she wrote some words on the back of my arm and i cant read them :\ Great pic like always tyler, ur so friggin awesome. ._.
February 9th, 2010 at 9:51 am
… not written, painted… and it was a beachscape over his back. Also painted him as a black cat! You never cease to amaze me- you cheer me up every day. Thank you.
February 10th, 2010 at 1:35 am
I actually really love how hairy he is in this photo. Hairiness used to be the epitome of sexy and manliness and I feel like it heightens the idea of him being a ‘piece of meat’. I also really like how the hand is pushing him away, almost to say that she (assuming it’s a females hand) wants more than just a man. Well done, Tyler. I always enjoy your work!
February 10th, 2010 at 12:09 pm
Ewww. Glad that´s not Matt Dallas!!
