BRIAN BELLOT can't be stopped - he's got to show us a truly beautifully produced - hard cover book - a 5th Anniversary celebration of the LOYAL collective - called 'LOYAL And His Band'. Loyal started out as a magazine, MAY 2000, in Sweden, put out by Martin Lilja, Kristian Bengtsson & Amy Giunta. They opened GALLERI LOYAL in Stockholm in Feb 2005. Loyal no longer publishes magazines, only books now, 'LOYAL And His Band' is their first - the book highlights many of Brian's found photo pieces, as well as the work of many of his friends, who work out of New York City.
