Inspirations: 'The Art of the Fountain'
So you know how much you all love me? Well if any of you ever feel like quantifying that love in material form, please get me ”The Art of the Fountain” artbook by Darren Aronofsky and Kent Williams.
This is my favorite film ever ever. 90% of people hate it but they are silly.
The film was originally set to star Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett and was green lit with a budget of $70...

Watch“Miniature Vancouver” is a video shot by Tony Leech with a tilt shift lens! The truly interesting property of a tilt shift lens is its deliciously shallow depth of field somehow makes everything seem like it must be a tiny diorama.
What I love about this video is that these scenes are all not only of my city, but of my very neighbourhood, and there’s even a shot where you can...

Art from ILLUST201
Last year I took a phenomenal illustration course, taught by a man who could only be described as a cuddly version of Voldemort, Justin Novak, a New York born Vancouver artist and one of my inspirations. The course kept its own blog to which I posted a lot of development art and finished work, and was thinking it might be interesting for my beloved friends, fans and stalkers to check it...
Inspiration: Cellar-FCP
Whenever I make digital paintings, I want them to look like Cellar-FCP’s.
Cellar-FCP is an artist from Hong Kong. Much of his work portrays prostitutes in different countries around the world, and many of those works appeared recently in the book ‘鶯~Erotica’. The information he gives about himself is very minimal, he publishes under his pseudonym, and he doesn’t even have...
