CAM DE LEON

You may or may not recognize this image from Tool's promo art. Being my all-time favourite band of EVER, I felt it necessary to give a quick review of one of my favourite artists. His work compliments Alex Grey's work so well I'm not surprised they hired him. I would have. So he could paint my entire room.

What. A. Trip that would be.(Not that I indulge in any hallucinatory drugs, "real" life is quite enough of a challenge for me in terms of the whole "is this real or am I dreaming?" dillema).

Anyway, after I found this image I went on a hunt to find the artist and eventually came up on Happypencil.com, which is affectionately named I must say. His website portrays his work perfectly (though I do wish there was a way to view the images full-screen, the detail is really meticulous).

This is my favourite piece thus far entitled "Ghost.01", though it's been a hard competition. I keep going back and looking at it because I adore not only the detail but the flow it embodies. It literally makes me turn on Tool every time I see it. There's so much expression in what face you can actually see. But that's why I love it. All of his work reminds me of a younger more colour-varied HR Giger...also one of my favourite artists. No joke, eh?
