Switching to Tumblr

Thanks for reading this stuff for that past year and a bit. I'm going to switch over to tumblr because people actually see that stuff. I'll link here for longer posts still perhaps, but if you want to see the weekly posts head over to www.temescuart.tumblr.com. Thanks.

The Killing

Hey! I got this motha done despite the fact that I moved this week. I finally can stop moving every month and I'm officially a Brooklyner person. Bring on the fedoras. If you see me on the street and you don't recognize me it's probably because I'm wearing a fedora.

But The Killing. It is a great noir movie about a heist that hinges on meticulous planning, a clown mask, and the killing of a race horse. It has good characters, and really stands out from a lot of other noir with the way it looks, but also with its nonlinear narrative structure. Showing the same events from different perspectives etc.

If I'd had more time this week I would've tried some other approaches to the paneled sketch looking at the moment of the killing from different POVs. Maybe three different close ups. I really want to make one of these paneled illustrations work sometime. Anyway. I ended up going with the first idea because it does the best job of showing the symbol and mood that sets The Killing apart from other noir. Even though I probably wouldn't use color to sell this movie normally, I really like finding a palette that works for B&W movies.
