THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH NRG INNOVATIONS, WE WERE GIVEN PRODUCT TO SHOOT FOR THE COVER 
OF LEATHERETTTE MAGAZINES THIRD ISSUE. THE THIRD ISSUE FOCUSED ON HIGHLIGHTING A LOSS OF 
A COLLABORATION BETWEEN BRENT LAWSON AND NRG INNOVATIONS. THE TWO HAD AGREED UPON A JOINT
PARTNERSHIP TO PRODUCE A LIMITED RUN OF STEERING WHEELS, RACING SEATS AND AUTOMOTIVE ACCESSORIES
WITH A QUEER SENSIBILITY AND WAS ULTIMATELY DROPPED BECAUSE OF A LACK OF COMMITMENT FRON THE 
BUSINESS SIDE. 

THIS LOSS OF THE PARTNERSHIP AFTER COUNTLESS EMAILS BACK AND FORTH ULTIMATELY RESULTED IN NO RESPONSE 
WHICH RESULTED IN A HEAVY CREATIVE BLOCK. ONE NIGHT, WHILE OUT FOR A DRINK, BRENT RAN INTO A
MAN WHOM HE CLICKED WITH. THAT FRIDAY NIGHT HE EXCHANGED NUMBERS, SATURDAY CAME AND HE WAS INVITED TO
A PUP NIGHT AT PRECINCT IN DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES. NEW TO THE EXPERIENCE, BRENT FOUND HIMSELF 
TO BE INTRIGUED BY THE IDEA OF BEING A PUP HANDLER AS IT HELPED HIM RESTABLISH HE SENSE OF CONTROL
IN WHICH WAS ONCE LOST THROUGH HIS PARTNERSHIP WITH NRG INNOVATIONS. ADDITIONALLY, THIS KINKY
CREATIVE EXPRESSION WHICH WAS SUSPENDED WAS FINALLY ABLE TO EXPERIENCE A RELEASE WHICH 
RESULTED IN THE THIRD ISSUE OF LEATHERETTTE MAGAZINE - SYNAXIS.
