anna karenina

he soon felt that the realization of his longing gave him only one grain of the mountain of bliss he had anticipated. that realization showed him the eternal error men make by imagining that happiness consists in the gratification of their wishes. 

- leo tolstoy, anna karenina

about three years ago i embarked on the grand voyage of reading anna karenina - the book of which i purchased at a flea market (not to mention it was a beautiful vintage edition!). i was so inspired by the book while i was reading it that i drew the picture above. 

now that the movie is coming out soon, thought it would be fun to share.

history meets fantasy

this summer, abraham lincoln: vampire hunter will transform our view of the 16th president of the united states... one of a vampire slayer. the movie which was shot on set in new orleans was led by production designer francois audouy and set decorator cheryl carsick.
the detailed research and execution of set design will bring this movie to a more sophisticated and visually-pleasing level.
