Re-Shoots / Ny Rosendale Show

Akira (higher res)

Akira resonates with me on a deep personal level.  It was/is the most influential 

animation or ever.  Ebert said it transcended film by not just becoming a cult animated film, but on his

personal top 10 "movies" of all time. Adapted to film, the manga is consider the most important graphic work ever.  Otomo created effective scenes with hardly any "full-page"

spreads.  Owning the entire epic, I can say there are roughly a dozen out of about a thousand pages. 

The scale of the work can't be quantified.  But i found a way to achieve my own personal homage. 

I accidentally added marks in the background that looked like a circle - so I ran with it and it loosely became Akira's cryo - chamber thanks to a sharpie.  There are little nuances that can only be seen in person, tiny easter eggs that I'm more likely to be aware of than viewers.

Learning from Critiques

So I tried to use one of my own images as a reference (due to it's multiple selection

for recent exhibitions).  I'm trying to use the critiques the gallery directors are giving me

on 'why' they chose the entry piece.  So this one pays respects to a previous image - large black neg 

shapes, stronger light source, b/w shirt, simplified shapes...
