Prince Peter and Mick Rock: Artist Background

Mick RockOften referred to as the “The Man Who Shot the Seventies,” legendary Rock N’ Roll photographer Mick Rock first met David Bowie in early 1972. Rock was instrumental in creating many other key Rock N’ Roll images, such as album covers for Iggy Pop and the Stooges’ Raw Power, Queen’s Queen II (recreated for their classic music video ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’) and the Ramones End of the Century, among many others. He was the chief photographer on the films, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Hedwig and the Angry Itch, and Shortbus. He also produced and directed the seminal music videos for David Bowie to be found on Bowie’s Sound and Vision DVD collection including ‘John, I’m Only Dancing’ and ‘Space Oddity.’

As a DJ at some of New York’s hottest venues, including the infamous Beatrice Inn, and private parties for big name artists such as The Rolling Stones, he has quickly established himself as a staple on the New York Nightlife circuit. Prince Peter decided to test his kingship in the fashion arena by launching a collection of t-shirts inspired by Mick Rock.
