Scooter Gods

John Mulder is a painter based in Oregon. Those are all acrylic on panel.

“In my current work — “Scooter Gods” — I have been re-envisioning a pantheon of Deities form the world’s many religious as they sit atop their Vespa scooters. The symbology and narrative images of iconic religious art have always fascinated me. In antiquity, these paintings were used to teach allegorical stories and were often rife with hidden meanings and symbolic objects. In this new series I get to play with my love of classic scooters while staying true to the reverence and story of the classic religious portrait.”

Roll Over Me Slowly

In the parking garage of West Vancouver, there is a painting, more like of trompe-l’œil , much like the work of a guy who draws realistic chalk art on sidewalk. It is attempting to keep drivers slow down as a part of a $15,000 safety program.

"In what sounds like a terrifying experience, the girl’s elongated form appears to rise from the ground as cars approach, reaching 3D realism at around 100 feet, and then returning to 2D distortion once cars pass that ideal viewing distance. Its designers created the image to give drivers who travel at the street’s recommended 18 miles per hour (30 km per hour) enough time to stop before hitting Pavement Patty–acknowledging the spectacle before they continue to safely roll over her."

I think it is a bad idea. What if the driver swerve into other REAL object trying to avoid the fake kid. Or maybe run into a real kid thinking it was a painting on the floor. It can be "crying wolf" thing.

Art Of Goro Fujita

Born in Japan, Fujita moved to Germany when he was two-and-a-half. He's been doing concept art since he was a teenager, honing his skills with both 2D and 3D animation. He is currently hired by Dreamworks and resides in California. I like the illustration since it got a kitty in it!

R.I.P. Frank Frazetta

Frank Frazetta was one of the most famous fantasy artists who painted more than 150 covers for fantasy novels, along with movie posters, album covers, comic book covers plus his own original paintings. His works influenced so many painters as well as sculptors. His most well-known works were associated with Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian. He will be remembered as one of the most influential modern American painters. Some of his works were sold for over a million dollars.

I heard that he was such a perfectionist who keeps finding flaws on his works and painting over his (already published once and became famous) paintings displayed in his home museum. People who were familiar with the particular paintings visited the museum and got surprised often because the paintings they remember look so much different in person. I think he was obsessive....

He was 82.

David Uhl

David Uhl is an illustrator.

As a good painter, he can switch around the style and produce some cool paintings/ illustrations.

Unlike many of Harley Davidson related paintings (long harried breaded guy with a shade riding a chopper along with an imaginary lone-wolf or an eagle on the background kinda paintings that you see in chopper mags), his subject matter is treated in classic style; some are in the style of 1920's posters or in the Edward Hopper, Norman Rockwell or Charles Russel like atmosphere.

His studio sells quite a few of merchandise such as posters and t-shirts...
