Danny Brito At the Sock Hop & the Polaroid Project. Plus, a giveaway!

Couple on a polaroid by dannybrito.

I love Danny Brito’s work. It’s playful, colorful, sweet, quirky and right up my alley. You are probably most familiar with Danny’s Polaroid Project, where he creates custom prints in the style of a Polaroid. Love! And the cost is only $30 ($35 international) for a one of the prints.

Right now, Danny is hard at work getting ready for his show ‘At the Sock Hop’, which is going to be debuting on April 17th at the Pink Ghost in Hollywood, FL. It’s a 1950’s themed solo show and it sounds like so much fun.

And even though he is busy preparing for his show, Danny very generously offered to create a custom Polaroid Print just for one lucky Indie Fixx reader.

To win: Leave a comment on this post & share who you would like to be pictured in your custom Polaroid print. I will choose one random commenter from the bunch to win and they will receive 1 custom Polaroid print, plus a set of At the Sock Hop pins. This giveaway will end Friday, April 9th at 11:59 pm EST.

You can read more about Danny, his work & his show on his website & blog. You can also see more Polaroid printsΒ  on Danny’s Flickr.

    Thanks!
    Enjoy the day!

  94. I would love to have of my husband and daughter. She has crazy hair, so it might be fun for Danny to render!

    The at the sock hop pins are ridiculously cute, too. A friend gave me a Coach purse that I wear around all the time, but it’s not fun looking, you know, at all. The pins would fix that like magic.

  102. These are so cute! I would love one of my Grandpa and I with the kitty I convinced him to adopt!
