the first {post} is the deepest.

After a week of pure blog-excitement, and countless ideas, I'm actually a little lost for words.

So i might just start with a picture or two.






I stumbled across the artist, Phil Hale, whilst traipsing around my fellow poster's favourite haunt: Kinokuniya bookstore near Town Hall. He has illustrated a series of [amazing] covers for Penguin: this one is Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness.



His works just seem to embody everything I love about painting: it looks realistic but there is actually little detail, the lighting and colours are so dramatic and some of his art is close to graphic comic works.

You can see more of his works at http://www.allenspiegelfinearts.com/hale.html.
I don't think there is one I don't like.
