Luc Besson demanded that most of the action shots in the film take place in broad daylight, as he was reportedly tired of the dark spaceship corridors and dimly lit planets common in science fiction films, and wanted a brighter “cheerfully crazy” look as opposed to a gloomy realistic one. Jean Paul Gaultier designed every one of the 900 costumes worn by extras in the film’s Fhloston Paradise scenes, and checked each costume every morning. His designs, described as “intellectually transgressive”, were said to challenge sexuality and gender norms. A single jacket he designed for the film cost $5,000. [x]

Abigail Goldman’s “Wishful Thinking” at Spoke Art NYC.

Opening on Saturday, March 4th, 2017 at Spoke Art’s location in New York City is artist Abigail Goldman’s fantastic looking exhibition “Wishful Thinking.”

Featuring dozens of her notable small-scale sculptures, “Wishful Thinking” is a continuation of Goldman’s on-going ‘dieorama’ series. Each free standing sculpture is an insular world unto itself, featuring a variety of narratives but all circling the same theme - murder.

Her subjects, although less than an inch high, are aggressive, vindictive and bottom- line homicidal, although one would not guess it based on their provincial appearance. Goldman’s environments range from picturesque suburban settings to objectionable street corners and alley ways, littered with graffiti and trash. Each work encapsulates the precipice of these gruesome murders, allowing viewers to speculate on motive and implication. Working for years as a crime reporter at the Las Vegas Sun and later as an Investigator for the Federal Public Defender of Nevada, Goldman has explored her darker side in both her work as an artist but also professionally in her career.

“Wishful Thinking” will be on display until March 26th, 2017 and if you’re in the New York City area, definitely seek it out.

My recent cover illustrations for a monthly novel magazine STORY BOX. The editor-in-chief gives me a keyword every month, and I come up with whatever I like as long as the image reflects the keyword. I pretty much enjoy the creative freedom.
