   Felix Ip is one of my favorite artists & his art has been a huge source of inspiration for this blog. You can find his art peppered throughout my themed Art Collections. Felix is a freelance art director, illustrator & concept artist, but he's gained a large online following over the past 4 years by sharing detailed sketches of famous robots, mech & other geeky pop culture characters.

   Japanese painter Hajime Sorayama found fame in the 80s with skillfully executed, highly fetishized airbrushed portraits of sexy female forms. His "objets de sexe" quickly found their way into American men's magazines Playboy & Penthouse, from there he went on to illustrate movie posters, album covers & other ads for various international brands. In this century, he has collaborated with fashion designers Mark Ecko & Stussy. Below is concept art commissioned by George Lucas for a Star Wars project.

FEMM - Fxxk Boyz Get Money

   It's not that good, but it sure is pretty. Like the seductive plastic molded sushi platters displayed in Japanese restaurant windows, FEMM are all spectacle w/ zero substance & it seems like they planned it that way.
   It's "their" message to the world; be an empty, vacuous object w/ no memory of the past or concept of the future. "Kcuf boyz get $$$".

FILM: Doraemon: Stand by Me (ドラえもん)

New Japanese movies I want to see in 2014:

Doraemon: Stand by Me (ドラえもん)

   Why I want 2 C it: I love the style of animation. The animators have found the perfect balance between the 2D cartoon & 3D CG. While I've never been a fan of Doraemon, this looks so interesting as they're marketing it as a tear-jerker. Only in Japan would you get a big budget 3D animation about loss & letting go.

   I'm not sure what they will do if this is a huge hit as this seems to be the end of the Doraemon series.
