Backen’s Wide Open Environments, and one more Annie Leibovitz study of Patti Smith
This is the second edition of “Things That Could Not Be Improved,” a grouping of things that need not be, or could not be, improved. I’m not a proponent of perfection, but I love seeing such well conceived and well crafted artworks:

Jeff Smith’s Shazam:
Buy this book! (I did.) It’s smart. The colors are so good I want to grab a spoon and eat them like ice cream. It has a great tale for all ages, and the political subtexts are apropos.
You can probably find the book at your local comic book store. It’s also available on Amazon:

I like a hug for the big guy…
I love the Thomas Beuchner painting! I am always drawn to his figurative work over his still lifes.
Very nice!
