Conceptart.org Reverie in Dallas

Well, Dave Dorman and I made it thru a very bumpy flight to Dallas. We're in Texas for Conceptart.org's Reverie workshop, which is another like the Revelations Symposium in Seattle last January. Dave is an instructor at this one and I'm just here being an artist. I loved the last one and I see no reason that Dallas won't be better.

The whole thing kicks off tomorrow in typical Conceptart.org fashion with a huge party that starts at 9PM in conjunction with the AFI Festival going on here. Dave and I will probably hit the Dallas Art Museum tomorrow, since it is one block from our hotel. I'll be taking pics and vids and will do my best to keep everyone posted.

Prada Envokes Via James Jean

Ever wonder what a James Jean illustration would look like if it came to life? Well, wonder no longer. Prada has utilized Jean as a concept artist for this short promotional film by James Lima. And yes, Pan makes an appearance as a fashion god.

Blade Runner

Wow. I have just watched all the DVD extras on the super-duper 5 DVD collector's edition of Blade Runner and I am blown away. It took a couple of nights to do it, but it was worth it. Blade Runner was pivotal in my life as an artist, a movie fanatic, a science fiction fiend, amateur futurist, and cultural outsider. You either loved Blade Runner or you didn't. I did.

I think I'm going to watch it all again.

The Golden Compass - first TRAILER

And I'm looking forward to this, 'cause you can't beat warrior polar bears.

Day Watch

I'm looking forward to this. The author's commentary on the Night Watch DVD were excellent in pointing out the differences between his novels and this movie series.
