Website: TATTOO LIFE MAGAZINE  Happy Birthday to the legendary Ray Harryhausen. Aside from his incredible animation technique, his creature designs were beautifully conceived and sculpted with a wonderful sense of personality and character. His work has been and will always be a major inspiration. Born Raymond Frederick Harryhausen (June 29, 1920 – May 7, 2013) http://www.rayharryhausen.com/  MAD MAX: FURY ROAD. An amazing and inspiring film. Brilliantly imaginative and fresh. The “Mad Max” films of George Miller have always had a very big artistic influence on me, with their weather-beaten metal vehicles, outlandish characters and cobbled together aesthetic. This new movie contains all the crazy eccentricities of Miller’s vision, but on a massive scale. The art direction, cinematography and action choreography are dynamic and truly stunning. Every frame of this film is loaded with incredible detail and the performances are first rate....all the characters have a presence. I was cautiously optimistic about this new entry in the series, but I’m pleased to say that it exceeded my expectations in a big way.  This is the last week to view my solo show "Mise-en-scène" at Last Rites Gallery in New York City...show runs through Sat. May 16. If you're in the NYC area this week, stop in. Or for more info, price list or purchase inquiries contact at info@lastritesgallery.tv To view the entire show go to: www.lastritesgallery.tv  Here's a look at the development of my piece "Nature and Transience" which is currently on view as part of my solo show "Mise-en-scène", now at LAST RITES GALLERY in New York City. Seen here, a concept sketch and some sculptural objects while under construction. These maquettes were later to be photographed as part of the mixed media assemblage process used in creating the final work. You can see many of the objects that I created for use in my artworks as well as the available finished pieces at the gallery through May 16, 2015.
