Marco Romano Bhimani aka BASTARDARTIST is the hardest working underground/no-budget Filmmaker and Photographer from Southern California. He grew up in many SoCal hot spots in the late 80’s and early 90’s and witnessed subcultures fully explode into what they are today. Marco has done documentary work in Southern California (Los Angeles, Orange County, Inland Empire, and San Bernadino); Northern California (San Jose, San Francisco and Oakland); Phoenix, AZ; Houston, TX; Las Vegas, NV; New York (The Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island) and Mexicali, MX.

Marco Romano Bhimani aka BASTARDARTIST is a Los Angeles based fine-art photographer, known locally for his stylized portrait work with LA's underground hip-hop artists, punks, graffiti writers, gangbangers, street racers, and all the disassociated dissidents aimlessly meandering through the undercurrents of LA's urbanized shrouded street. Marco began shooting no-budget videos and documentary street work over 15 years ago and hasn't stopped since. He has aimed his artistic sights to a revealing and unflinching glance of the gritty rawness of uninhibited flesh, pushing the protruding lens into the subversive while riding the fine line between art and misanthropy.

BASTARDARTIST has exhibited extensively in Los Angeles and has been published in a myriad of street culture and lifestyle magazines.

Marco was born in 1978 and lives and works in Los Angeles, CA 90065
