Something looks familiar here…

A friend sent me these pictures from the current issue of Field and Stream Magazine.  It’s a Toyota advertisement, and I’m not sure what to think or do about it.  I would never associate this series of artwork with an advertisement to help sell cars, even if it’s masked in an attempt to promote environmental “heroes”.  I’m not a fan of lawsuits claiming ownership of fair use imagery, but this is a little too close for comfort.

New Art @ Circle Culture (Berlin)

I’m excited to have begun working with Berlin gallery, Circle Culture.  I’m included in the upcoming show, New Art where each artist was asked to re-interpret a piece from art history.  The gallery director, Johann chose my entry for the flyer which you see here along with the full versions of the involved paintings.
