Sky

I’ve been trying to dive into the world of HD video by way of Digital SLR (I use the Canon 5DmkII), and have been searching for inspiration and motivation. Found.

Filmed in Dubai over 5 days and nights.
Shot on the Canon 7D, the Canon 5DmkII and one Panasonic GF1

Moleskine sketchbook of James Jean

There’s something intimately intriguing to me about seeing the insides of an artist’s sketchbook.  Everyone loves a finished piece, of course, but sometimes I find the internal (and, in this case, external) process that leads to a completed work of art to be more interesting.  I could look for hours, but here are a few of my favorites by illustrator/painter, James Jean.  What attracts me most about his work is the juxtaposition of abstraction and realism, a balance I have always struggled to find in my own creative process.
