I think this post got obscured a bit by the shadow of our two feuding doctors, but I just want to say that I enjoyed seeing these images. I particularly love the last bugman, the one that looks like he’s holding two blackberries that are also, somehow, his antennae.

He looks like a Very Important Man. He’s got Important Things to Do.

My favorite series is Vanity Studies.
From Transmigrations, “Mole” is certainly my favorite piece.
There is just something about it… perhaps a sense of familiarity of our world today.
Almost everyone walking along with antennas over our ears trying to pick good cell phone signal.

Agh… silly me ~
Thank you for sharing!

I’ve been pouring over the site since I saw the post…such fun stuff! Usually I’m not that into Photo Manipulation as an artform unto itself…I like it as a tool mind you. This though…I like it…a lot. They really do come off more as illustrations than just glorified exercises in technique.

It all feels much more naturally put together and polished. The Damsels in Armor are something I’d actually like to see come to life in some way…they’d be fun to see in a video game or film…with Wagner playing in the background

I like how “Blowfly” has blood on his hands and an air cannon to shoot high-speed compressed hot air at the shareholders through his gun junk…
