Kool Fellas Ltd. Review in DEADBEAT Mag (Australia)
pixeleye, 14:21h
The great australian Kustom Kulture Magazine DEADBEAT reviewed the 3rd Hot Rod/Kustom Kulture book "Kool Fellas, Ltd." in issue 17
"Dirk´s work will be looked back upon in the future as some of the most iconic imagery that chronicled international kustom kulture scenes today"
Deadbeat Magazine (Australien)
Dirk "The Pixeleye" Behlau is renowned for his ability to capture the kustom kulture lifestyle [...] The Pixeleye´s lens takes you to events in locations including the USA, Finland, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium and Italy where you´ll be introduced to the characters he finds lurking backstage, in back alleys, garages, car parks or burning down the vintge 1/8 mile race.
Although he travels the world to capture these people, there is a sense of familarity in all of his work which stems from his ability to immerse the viewer in his shootes and transport them into the world of his subjects, if you saw a person from one of his images it would not be too much of a stretch to walk up to them and start chatting as though you spent a weekend partying with them in Europe or the USA (and if you did then this book could be the only proof you have that i actually happened).
Dirk´s work will be looked back upon in the future as some of the most iconic imagery that chronicled international kustom kulture scenes today and if you want to feel like you´ve travelled the world to attend the creme de creme of hot rodding events without leaving the couch then this is one of the best places to start - the only problem is that you will be wanting to head over to see them first hand at the next possible opportunity.
