maybe i worked in publishing way to long... while i think they are neat shots and technically impressive, they kind of strike me as mostly appropriate magazine article illustrations. i don't know why exactly, but though i love weird things and fantay based themes, i'm just not particularly attracted to his work in terms of 'gee i'd love to have that on my wall'. they just seem very commercial to me. not a bad thing, just my opinion. just trying to offer up my view without sounding too negative!
