All of these influences have come together in his latest project, titled ARM•ME Melnick imagines — quite vividly — what Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Pucci, and Chanel would add to standard ammunition. The exhibition starts September 2nd at Gallery 385 in New York City. The outcome is a compelling statement that questions how we — individually and as a nation — spend our money, contrasting the abundance of weaponry with the scarcity of high-end luxury goods and some pretty amazing imagery.” Each week, www.JoshSpear.com explores the latest projects by top creative professionals in the Behance Network and highlights a few that are pushing the edge of creative industry. Josh Spear also serves as an Adviser and Guest Curator for the Behance Network. http://web.me.com/justinmelnick/Photographs/ARM%E2%80%A2ME.html#0 69c637be-b169-42e7-b165-be18c4d8bad5 http://web.me.com/justinmelnick/Photographs/ARM%E2%80%A2ME_files/Media/LV-AK47.jpg?derivative=thumb http://web.me.com/justinmelnick/Photographs/ARM%E2%80%A2ME_files/Media/LV-AK47.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px;
