The Cobra Snake: Mark Hunter

The Cobra Snake is the pseudonym of Los Angeles photographer Mark Hunter who is famously known as being the king of the hipsters. His duties include but are not limited to drug use, pornagraphy, debachery and liqiuid diets. His eponymous website, which features candid digital photographs of parties, club nights and various promotional events, was known as PolaroidScene.com until the camera manufacturer threatened legal action.



Although Hunter appears to have access to every nightspot possible, he actually started shooting parties while still a teenager, sneaking into bars and scenester hotspots as a friend of indie rock band The Like. The website's popularity has led to a weekly roundup of photos in the LA Weekly by Hunter.



Hunter was student body vice president and unanimous selection for Prom King of Santa Monica High School in 2003, after graduation Hunter attended Santa Monica College for one year until he dropped out.



Hunter also worked as an assistant to world famous graphic designer and fine artist, Shephard Fairey. Fairey became famous for his "OBEY" stickers that were found inter continentally with the face of Andre The Giant. Hunter worked for Fairey during the early days of Shepard's commercial design studio, BLK/MRKT which was founded with artist Dave Kinsey.
