This one is the "Lamb of God" image. I hate this image with a passion actually. I suppose it's to be looked as an allegory about Christ but it it also makes me think about man's cruelty to the creatures of the world.

At the time she was doing beachy paintings that looked like old vacation stills on blown out and faded film. After her submergence into the Pop Surrealism scene her work has taken an edgier, more fantastical feel. She has a <a href="http://www.facebook.com/kiranders#!/event.php?eid=102068796501492&ref=mf">solo show in Reno</a>.

A whole mess of them were zooming around and yelling at each other through the trees. I was reminded of the lovely paintings of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Johnson_Heade">Martin Johnson Heade</a> (1819-1904) who painted <a href="http://www.huntermuseum.org/learn/connect/essays/21/">many paintings of hummingbirds</a> in almost primordial, jungly landscapes.

Unfortunately, only 18 seconds of Destino were ever shot, but in 1999, Roy Disney reconstructed the entire short using computer rendering and hand-drawn imagery based on the original sketches and storyboards.<br />The piece was supposed to have been part of Fantasia 2000, but didn't make the cut and hasn't ever seen release anywhere else. So far, the Disney lawyers haven't come after this YouTube video, so cross your fingers that it still works when you click on the play button.

His work is at once beautiful and halting as he dances between fictional narrative and history.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">A graduate of Yale University, Kaphar makes work that is a timely display of what he sees as an alternative history. He sees his work as "the first sentence in a longer paragraph that the viewer completes."

On my way to Kenya last month we had a layover in Amsterdam so we scooted over to Chris' new studio to see what he was working on.

Long time no see. Sorry about that. I'm going to TRY to keep up the old blog, but the break was well needed.<br />Anyway- here is a beautiful image by Tiffany Bozic who I've mentioned before.
