THAT CAR CHASE SCENE in PT ANDERSON’s #OneBattleAfterAnother is an immersive emotional cinematic feast. Riding low on an asphalt tidal wave propelled by Jonny Greenwood percussive score. I was teary-eyed from witnessing this on IMAX 70mm. Chase Infiniti commanded every scene

It’s SO GOOD?
Great! Now I know something about it. Got my IMAX 70mm tix for next week. I should get one for VISTAVISION

Sad to see that the only non-fancy Fusion neighborhood Cantonese Chinese restaurant that was run by the nicest guy ever since I’ve been here and all through the pandemic suddenly PERMANENTLY CLOSED.
Times Change, Things End, and something not needed takes its place.

Now every time I look at that book, or hear a song from The Strokes, PJ Harvey, Radiohead, or Interpol,
I get transported to that profound moment of New York City, 2001
Never Forget / Can’t Forget ❤️‍🩹

9/11 and Kavalier & Clay

The day after 9/11, I was at home thinking that I would never set foot in NYC ever again. To get away from the news, I decided to distract myself & design the back cover of Kavalier & Clay.
It was a joy getting lost in making it look like a vintage comic book Ad.

Swatching out #LiquitexBasics #Acrylic paints in my #Moleskine sketchbook.
It’s inexpensive student grade paints, so there’s less pigments and more filler. The colors are thin, but I like that it gives me a familiar watercolor wash look. I can always add layers to build up opacity.
