Billy is from Dallas, you may have heard him on KISS in Dallas, or Z100 in New York, or all over the country on his nationally syndicated show.

  This week's look of the week is Jeremy Corbell. Jeremy is a LA based mixed media artist, that recently put together an art show in LA called ICON. As stated on his website, ICON is a multi-media experience honoring the style and life of Sharon Tate launching on the 40th anniversary of her passing, initiating a new body of work by mixed media artist Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell. This art & fashion based exhibition showcases the never before revealed wardrobe of the late Sharon Tate.

  I had the chance to go to the premiere of his show, as well as sit down with him last week and chat about art, life and his martial arts career. Yup, you read it right. Jeremy is a Sensei in Jujitsu, pretty damn crazy. Check out the video I posted below of his jujitsu. Jeremy definitely has some crazy stories, it's always refreshing to sit down with other creative types and share stories. His story of the Prague jail in relation to his "Sunglasses" show is NUTS! Anyways, here is Mr. Corbell.
