In the Studio

I feel compelled, obliged, to recommend the latest Terry Gilliam film, 'Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus'.
Enter the Imaginarium
If you crave the strange or hunger for the unusual in film like I do, then there is little possibility that you will come out of this film feeling like you did not get the full family dinner plate of fantastical.  Terry's talent for visual assault is heightened to a new level in this picture I feel, with the script lending to some of the most, 'in there' dreamy imagery I can remember seeing in a long while.  Really, it's kind of like walking into someones lucid dream projected onto a large screen.


In more pertinent news, thought I'd show you a couple pieces I have going in the studio right now:



This one is cropped from the larger piece.  It keeps changing; right now I think it's going to be about a group of fictional, inter-dimensional adepts gathered together in a throne room...?





This started from a cut-off of another piece.  I walked into the studio and saw this discarded piece of paper with scribbled lines on it from a previous drawing and began drawing into what the markings suggested to me.  Right now it seems to consist of imaginary sea creatures and totem birds clustered in the foreground with a distant background suggesting impending doom (not shown in this picture).
