What Van Gogh’s Famous Self-Portrait Looks Like as a Photograph
Wow.

I am working on an experiment in Film and Design. Starting this week I will be Working on a Massive Conceptual Film Poster Series. This Series is unlike anything I have ever worked on before. I will be picking several Different Films, spanning all genres of the Hollywood Studio system. Each Film will get a record 8 different Posters, but some may run a little more then 8. With my calculations I am hopefully to have over 100 different designs. I am still in the process of selecting all the films that will make the cut. So I encourage you all to send in some movies that you love for their enduring images and themes.
This is a major challenge and I am eager to share what I have so far …
I have completed work on 3 films, As you can see I have selected Stanley Kubrick’s Anti War Picture “Paths of Glory” It’s a film that has had a major influence in my life and i wanted to explore all it’s brutal themes and Images of War.
I will be leaking more designs very soon, both on my Tumblr Site and on my other social outlets (twitter, instagram, Facebook) So please keep an eye out for some special surprises.
Thank you !

Fritz Henle - Lights of Manhattan, 1945
I’ve been working on a fun little side project, re-skinning Superman from the original #6 comic. Thinking about doing a little postcard sized series if that is something people would be interested in. Regardless, I’ve already made a bunch because it’s highly entertaining to me.
I like how Carl Sagan is one of them.

Modern album art cliches.
1. Abstract, hazy, hard to see, blobs of colour, washed out photos/paintings
2. Circles! Circles circles circles!
3. Other shapes.
4. Circles with things in them (usually stylized as an old photograph.)
5. Black and white photos of people’s faces, or other parts of the body. (Usually close up.)
6. Minimalism. Usually just the name and that’s basically it.
(There are more, but I’m pressed for time, so this is it for now.)
Art” is a shitty word that people will tack on to anything these days. Just focus on creating, whatever that may be, however that may be, do it well, and do it because you love it.

“It’s art. I call it ‘Shit Spread On Brick Wall: The Deeper Understanding of the Emotive Human Conciousness”
So, yes, it was an athletic feat and, yes, it was the first time anyone’s made that particular walk and, yes, we would never even dream of doing such a thing ourselves, but can we talk about the difference between art and commerce? Philippe Petit had farther to fall, nothing to prevent it, and a passion that was absurdly inspiring. Nik Wallenda had a tether and a TV deal.
