INCEPTION Concept Work

 INCEPTION. Director: Chris Nolan, Production Designer: Guy Dyas.
 Images copyright Warner Brothers
 I was very excited to be a part of this project. I am an avid fan of Mr. Nolan's films and having heard that he penned the story, and the script as well...I knew this would be a very compelling project to be a part of, and feel very honored to have contributed. These images speak of the collaborative efforts and ideas of many talented associates in the Inception Art Dept.
This was a very gratifying experience, especially working with such a visually accelerated Director. Bravo Mr. Nolan!

Some more shots

Been painting up some shots during some downtime.Just trying to keep the tools sharpened.



Little Tokyo 2040

Coast Landscape

I kept caking on layers and layers of gouache and to no avail- hrmmph...

Here are some more from that area...

Landscapes-Grey Skies

I have been out schlogging my paints in the rain lately. Here are some results.

Rough Start

I am hoping that if I have these farty sketches on my blog, it will force me to finish them- a new year's resolution and an otherwise good habit to instill--finishing what I start--
