and wow, the genuis of jean-lucien never stops. here is a dazzlingly cool piece he sent me just about a year ago. and i can't even begin to express what's so cool about it. i mean, i'd be here all night. i love the icy colors. i love the hint of a lonely house in the upper background. i like the feeling that its almost looking back at you, with the camera lens pointed at the viewer, and all that. and, i'm not sure if you can see, but if you enlarge, you'll see the lovely pair in the center are aiming a 30's style bonnie-and-clyde-fied tommy gun at you too. its a 'shot that shoots back,' if you will. i love the slice of the MAD magazine table of contents in there; i love the dashboard of the car, the moistened flower petals, and the selective use of negative photography. its just so cool i could lose myself staring at it. it clicks to enlarge beautifully. it gets really big, so you can adequately appreciate the scissorwork and the clean gluing. i haven't been able to spot one single glue smudge or accidental cutting. just wonderful. so daring and pretty and cool. man, jean-luc is a genius. (oh, by the way, the blonde chick is french 60's-70's cutie recording artist france gall, and the dude is french svengali, serge gainsbourg.) click to really enlarge.
