You're right jonsilence, the "nervousness" of his hand (energetic as you said) made him the perfect candidate for story-boarding our favourite movie |

It's not only french, it's international, and these guys are now part of the big galleries business, like Invader, Kaws, Banksy... I can't afford any of their pieces anymore, prices have raised to the point they're unfortunately not playing in my league anymore...

His better pictures, for me, have a certain energetic flair and edginess about them, and I think these qualities show up more consistently in his storyboard illustrations. It's too bad he isn't around to contribute to BR2. |
I agree ! His charcoal works will always stand out from the rest of his production. I guess he had to go to the essential with these pieces, due to tight deadlines, and that's where he was the better.

Same here JS, I hope we'll have other occasions to share thoughts on art, BR related or not. _________________ THE FUTURE IS A THING OF THE PAST |

PAUL BUNYAN, c.1955, five acrylic paintings on board, each signed, original concept art for proposed film by proposed director John Rawlins for Universal Studios, average size 13 x 22”, one with scuffs and small chip, otherwise in good studio condition. (5) $2500/5000

Lucidly conceived and very well executed, but Paul Bunyan is not sexy subject matter, and would have been ripe for adaptation by Disney in the 50s or 60s. The group of Huebner storyboards were re-offered on 10/22/2016 at the same auction house and sold for $500. _________________ Silence is Golden |
