I really liked Land of Sleeping Things ... evocative, stylish and well executed. The others all look entirely different, though. Sterile, comic-booky and cheap. Are these by the same artist? The dichotomy is astounding.
@Aethelred: it sounds more like you have a problem with minimalism than anything else. one could assume you praise land... over the others because it has a clearer vanishing point that adds extra perspective. the lack of depth perspective in the other works is not indicative of cheapness as much as it is a part of the composition of the respective works. in fact the perspective in most of the shots serves as a visual motiff to seperate the elements within each work and it does a pretty good job of it. very reminescent of ukiyo-e.
@tetracycloide: Ahhhh. Now I gets it: the others are "reminescent" of crap. That explains everything. Now I just need to go find out what reminescent means.
@Aethelred: ukiyo-e was a heavy infulence on a number of significant movements in classical european art. it is hardly worthy of a title like crap, at least van gogh, degas and monet didn't think so along with a number of other extremely talented artists.

Wait, I can. I wish I WOULD paint like that.
Wait, I have time tonight.
I wish I hadn't bought Fallout 3, but I love the lunchbox and bobblehead too much.

On the whole I quite like these.
