North by Northwest

Any Hitchcock fans out there? I just did this piece for an upcoming show. You'll probably see some classic Film Noir, Musicals, Sic-Fi, and even anime from me in the near future. So much going on and not enough time to get it all done!

"It's important to know when you've been beaten, yes?"-Snow White

Known widely for his artistic visions(Immortals, The Cell), director Tarsem Singh delivers a creative twist to the classic fairy tale Snow White.

It's funny that I originally didn't want to see this movie due to the trailers making it seem so goofy, but I actually admired the film for what it was and really enjoyed the fact that it was inspiring to both children and adults.  Lilly Collins and Armie Hammer stole the show with great chemistry, and Singh's attention to brilliant costume and set designs allowed this film to be one of a kind and unique to audiences.

As far as this reference goes, Collins reminds me a bit of a young Audrey Hepburn and this still managed to capture an expression from her that I feel was sincere to Snow White's true personality.

"Mysterious Apprentice"

"The Great Circle of Life"

Client-Acme Archives Direct/Disney Fine Art

This poster was originally created for Disney Fine Art to celebrate the Lion King coming back to theatres a few months ago.  The original art is sold, and this piece is not yet a limited edition, even though I've been told it probably will later on down the road.  So the only thing I can offer right now is this pretty digital file.  Hope you enjoy!

FYI- I probably watched the Lion King everyday when I got home from school in 5th grade, this film was my drive to be an artist as a kid.  To have the opportunity to do work for this masterpiece was an honor.
