WALL-E

July 18th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I saw WALL-E last night. Fantastic!!  The film is great on so many levels, but one in particular that relates to my art. The film is set in an apocalyptic future where humans have had to escape an Earth that they (we) have made unlivable. The opening scenes (which then run through half the movie) blew me away: a huge city, after hundreds of years void of people. Skyscrapers crumbling, streets deserted and full of rubble, a layer of dust and ash on everything… I don’t know why, but I could stare at scenes like these for hours, maybe days. Its by no means a future or a scenario I want, in fact the opposite is true. I fear this ending. But I remain mesmerized, and I know many others do, likely you since you are reading this.

NBC in Detroit (Channel 4),  interviewed me today.  It was a good, long interview with visuals of many of my images, which was great because artists need all the exposure they can get!!

    Wall-E totally looks like the robot from “Short Circuit”… minus the cheesy 80’s style of course
