i was friends with julien long ago and we've since lost touch, but i was going through some old links and was reminded again how amazing his illustration work is!

www.drahomira.deviantart.com

he did a series of polaroids called "66 polaroids that never existed" and pretty much read my mind. he's amazing. (i'm putting the 66PTNE in illustration because they're not real pictures...it would be impossible to take pictures of this stuff!)

here's 4 from deviant art...there are 66 and i started from the beginning and i can't really pick favorites!

*edit: spelled julien's last name wrong!

oh, that's really nice ... reminds me of propaganda posters (or neo rauch being inspired by them) mixed with magritte ... a bit ghostly but beautiful.
thanks for sharing. i never look at deviant art, it might be a goldmine, but there's some horrible stuff, too

i totally agree, anna...i was on deviant art for a while a long time ago but i deleted my account because i was just really disenchanted by the work and some of the people..some of the work is really bad...but luckily i became friends with julien before that happened! i'm hoping he'll want to have a show in my gallery

It's the umbrellas that remind me of Magritte but that seems to be the only identifiable element to me
Goodness I really like this. I should clear time to do some collage art in Photoshop as well, I love that. When I had a site a few years ago it was mostly in the style of pic 5 + 6 btw. Those are the only ones that I don't like so much

He must be getting a fair amount of jobs. He'd be perfectly capable of creating a Franz Ferdinand cover, I just feel he's the right person for it
