Van Gogh in true 3-D...

I worked on a film about 
van Gogh's life in the 1990s 
called Crow in the Storm.
Laid out as a path through 
his life by way of his paintings, 
envisioned through 100 pages 
of color storyboards for 
traditional animation-
save for a final scene shot 
depicting van Gogh's death,
to the music of John Fogarty,
Long As I Can See The Light.

The movie never got made.

But from it sprung a need to create 
Vincent van Gogh and his world 
in actual 3-D to accentuate the 
concept. Some three dimensional
versions, in clay, of Van Gogh...
Most of the photographs are taken 
by Jerry Downs.
