Phillip D. Bandel - Art Direction - Event Production and Coordinator
My passion lies in the execution of the thought into a three dimensional, physical format. Here you will find some of the best and most recent examples of my work from the last two years.
Whether its in fashion, fine art, performance or floral design, I've had the opportunity to produce something exceptional.
In 2008, after moving back to my home town of Los Angeles from San Francisco, I studied fashion construction for two years at LATTC where I received extensive training as a pattern maker. Instead of pursuing fashion immediately after leaving school, I had the amazing opportunity of opening an art gallery and produced 8 shows back to back from 2010 to 2012.
I had some incredible experience in artist management during those years, yet as it would turn out my production career would move into the opportunities of Hollywood nightlife.
I was on the original production crew for A Club Called Rhonda which quickly became a cultural phenomenon and led me to be the talent buyer at a Hollywood nightclub for a year. I managed the events calendar and booked 3 - 5 shows a week, working with several artists, DJ's and agents.
Most recently, I have had the pleasure of working with creative director and artist, Kyle Nelson Pitts of The Other Half (www.theotherhalfla.com) as an art director and stylist. Within the last two years, under his leadership, I've been able to create a body of work that I can say I am most proud of.
I have navigated through the corporate and private events world with a tireless drive under Pitts direction. I find myself now more capable than ever to continue a career in event production, art direction or project management.
