art deco sketch art of Michael Kaluta, from the artwork book of the movie "Metropolis", the incredible 1927 silent film

I didn't want to watch the silent film, not once I learned that a anime version with English vocals was made. It's a magnificent epic story that varies a lot from the original, and I recommend it highly. The original was written about on Wikipedia, and seems to be a very difficult story to follow, and that must be why it was editted differently by anyone who could, resulting in every known copy

Traditional signs painted by Aaron, variety, medium, and style are no problem!

The Greenqueso.com isn't running right now, so instead, look at his work on Flikr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicesigns/sets/72157594223628156/ I love gold leaf, it looks so damn professional and elegant 5 years of professional (working for the man!) sign painting has endowed Aaron with lots of experience painting on completely different materials, and in different styles. Obviously, right?
