Although the Bloody Valentine Art show is over, some of the art is still on view at Halloween Town's "The Parlour" and available for purchase. Stop by if you have not had a chance to view it.
And to those that came by, thanks for making it to the opening, we all had a great time, and the gallery was bursting with activity, it was great!

My Bloody Valentine Group Art Show
2/14/09- 7pm-10pm

I am honored to be a part of this upcoming
Art Show in February '09
at the fabulous Halloween Town's Gallery-"The Parlour"!


Go to The Parlour Myspace site or go to
The Parlour at Halloween Town for more info!

Ahhh, yes.. The Bush Legacy Bus. They have just revived the bus tour and added a new "leg"
of the tour through Iraq inspired by the most recent addition to his historic legacy!

What more can I say?

Hmm, $30 million is not too much for executive compensation, but the lower middle class auto workers need to take a pay cut to compete with Non-Union workers working for foreign car companies like Toyota in the Southern states...Kashkari-logic

My Latest photoshop charicature!

Henry Paulson-AKA The Joker, holds Gotham City hostage. "Pay up or face dire consequences!" he says!#6.
I was totally inspired to create this Photoshop charicature after seeing The Dark Night, the parallels are uncanny. But we don't have The Batman to save us, we have W. So folks, as Gerald Celante said, this is a bloodless coup d'etat. Its a DC Heist by Wall Street Gangs. Not sure what us regular folks will be left with other than a lifetime of debt to pay for others mansions in Dubai.

So, if anyone is actually visiting this site...he, he...
Please note there is a new blogger site called Red Eye Art!
It is to be a collection of artists ( many work in animation) that have decided enough is enough! Time to put our stuff in our own book!
YAY! Please go visit often and check it out as the artists
start posting images and notes about themselves.
Hope you enjoy! The above logo for Red Eye site is ⓒ Ben Lane's.

Can you feel it?
Its getting cooler at night. Sunset is earlier and earlier.
Halloween shops popping up all over!
Yes! Its that time. The image of the abbey is a composite of photos and images composited in photoshop for a class I took last year. Been waiting for the right time of year to post it!

Hey! I found this music video I did a little work on many years ago. It is Lisa Stansfield's "Time To Make you Mine". I was in between jobs and I got to work on the coy fish tattoo sequence of this video. You'll see it , it's a gold coy swimming through a cloudy sky a la Magritte. I also did some work on one of the wings on the arm.
I am not sure the company still exists-SNEAK Pictures, and I have long forgotten who the Director was. Which is terrible because he was really cool and NICE! ( I must remember...) I also got to meet Director Tarsem Singh who dropped by because he was friends with our Director. He knew he was a hot shot & liked to flirt with the ladies! Ahem.
Anyway, its a blast from the past. It was pre-Digital effects, all the tattoos were all hand drawn and painted! I don't know who did the other drawings & color, but of course it was a mad rush job.

My husband Russell Chong just launched a new website of his art.
Its still under construction so check back weekly as new art goes up. Refer to my favorite links list on right column and go to RGC: The Art of Russell Chong.
His work is really amazing and he is one of the main Designers/Visual Conceptual Artist on the new
Star Wars: "The Clone Wars" CG-Animated series being made by Lucasfilm Animation-(Supervising Director Dave Filoni). Russell also worked on the vignettes series of "Star Wars: Clone Wars" directed by Genndy Tartakovsky for Cartoon Network a few years back as a Background Painter. Go through his television work and see some fun designs. His fine art is really mind blowing too. Enjoy his stuff.
