colors and concepts

Because I am so cool, I present this on a saturday night. But to be fair, last night was a wine-a-bration that led me to almost stain not only one, but two pairs of pants. However neither pair of pants were permanently harmed and were released back into their respective natural habitats.

so, Alejandro and I were talking and he asked me to do some concept art for this idea he has about an old school martial arts wielding monk who finds himself in New York in the 1980's. And then I thought what if Ziggy Stardust was done in an Edo Print.

Winter in Washington

This past weekend was the National Gallery Extravaganza so super museum time = super now. 


The Corcoran Gallery:

   
    Annie Leibovitz : A Photographer's Life

These are great, however Leibovitz dosent figure out color until 2003, so a lot of her early color work leave something to be desired. Also her landscapes are out of focus and waaay too large.

    Ansel Adams : The Collective Works

Adams however is the destroyer of landscapes, nobody can touch him when you put him in a heavily wooded area or next to a mountains...totally sick.

Annie Leibovitz is also doing a whole bunch of pictures for Disney
