Please help us welcome Nikki Sixx to MM.

He's a newbie to MM but not to photography, as you can see by looking at his work. He takes his work seriously and is here to network with models and stylists/MUA's.
Drop by his page and say hi.

And yes, it's really Nikki Sixx, I made sure of that.
Also make note of his top friend and welcome her to MM as well.

Is this really THE Nikki Sixx, or someone just using his name for publicity. Though the style of the photos matches up his personality.

Dean's a member of the moderator team, so when he says the quoted bit below, it's probably true.  wink

Heh, I just read an article about your work at school last week (I want to say it was in AmPhoto On Campus, but I may be misremembering). 
Either way, really nice work...

Nice to see you here!  It looks like you've got everything all set, and good luck to you.  I love the work you have up so far--incredible lighting.  Just thought I'd say that.  Best wishes!

It's certainly a better addiction than the needle in your arm that almost took your life away so many years ago!  So it's great to see you around and living out another creative addiction.  Yes, I've seen you live before you enjoyed your music.  And I must say wow your images are real good!

I saw you on Gretta a couple weeks ago. Hilarious how she kept trying to touch your boots and you told her to keep her hands off your shit.

I can't stop playing "Mother Fucker of the Year" on my iPod... fwiw.

IIRC. N. Sixx is somewhere in this picture, from a roll of film that only went to the first frame.
