Surreal Whale


Remember the jellyfish post? Another creature which I think is really beautiful is the whale. I once told a friend that one of the last things I would do before I die would be to actually see a blue whale live in the ocean - a majestic creature that's as big as a bus or a house, but floating so gracefully in the water, reminding me of a huge space shuttle performing its slow ballet in synchrony with the planets in outer space.

This is beautiful!!

I was at this store today called Giant Robot, it's this Japanese pop-art / toy / T-shirt / miscellaneous store, and they were premiering some new artworks done by avant garde pop artists (I think they're Japanese-Americans, primarily).

There were a couple that were done in exactly the same vein as yours!!! Highly intricate inked sketches, painted over electronically, and then printed out on canvassy paper.

I was thinking to myself, wow, wouldn't it be great if I could draw like that! I got the next best thing - KNOWING someone who draws like that ;) I can imagine this one being hung up in a wall somewhere, sometime.
