Art - British-born photographer Ben Watts, brother of King Kong actress Naomi Watts, returns with Lickshot, his informal photo diary filled with scribbled notes and boarding passes.

Ben Watts takes us on a photographic journey and by times reveals a more private side of the stars we love. From Black Eyed Peas to Lance Armstrong, Bruce Springsteen to Outkast's Andre 3000. They all pass in front of Ben's camera.
