Film studies

checking out this show ASAP:

"The Art of the Motion Picture Illustrator" show at the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences
Drool...Darn. when you have to know how to draw and compose to get a job. i would probably be pedaling shoe laces back then~ :P

just got home after work, so it was a long day. But i do have some film studies. From Akira Kurosawa's Dreams, and Federico Fellini's Satyricon. Two of my favorite directors besides Eisenstein. Yep i am old school~ :)




Big Sam doesn't think my colors are harmonizing enough. He suggested for me to do some still lifes from life. Which is probably what i would do come this weekend. and i also signed up for a Jeremy Lipking workshop~ Fun fun fun~

I went to one of Jeremy's workshops a few years back, a serious kick in the arse. He is the Zen master.
