DescriptionIt is a little over one year ago I visited with my friend Arnaud in Paris. He showed me his art collection and I learned about several new artists. Of all the pieces I saw, the one I was most impressed with was a commission he had by Roberto Ricci. I looked at it several times and I have been back to his gallery many times to visit it. I have since added a piece of art by Roberto to my collection and early on I contacted him about doing a commission. He has been very busy with personal and professional obligations but the commission is finally done. I asked for a lot to be added in the back ground. The pieces features Ishrat, a character from his BD Urban. I really like the look she had with the logos on her. It was something quite unique and that stayed with me. The world or Urban is very much that of Blade Runner and so I asked for the some of the Blade Runner characters to appear in the back ground. Zhora, Pris, Rachel and Deckard all appear as does the blimp with the advertising. You will also see Kaneda and his bike from Akira and Leelou from the 5th element. I think there is a spinner in the sky. In the world Ricci created, people often walk around in costumes and hence all the other characters. Although it has not been translated into English yet, it is worth picking up a copy of the first tome just to see the visuals and the world Ricci created. As far as the commission goes, it was a fun process going through this with Roberto (at least for me) and he kept me up to date often. There are some work in progress pictures as well including the 7 initial layouts that were proposed to me.Social/Sharing |

Eh Eh ... Well done Jeff. Always looking for new talents. It is incredible how this art is detailed without any correction. And the lighting is just perfect. Next challenge ... get an Otomo Art to match with Kaneda :-)
