COAT OF SMILES, parody art of iconic symbols. A duck's hat, a mouse's ears and a smiling yellow button. Three iconic things brought together in one artwork.

Joseph Danilowatz And Fritz Lang

I just discovered that one of my favorite artists, Joseph Danilowatz, was a main influence (visually) and close adviser to Fritz Lang, the director of 'Metropolis'. Which means, that Danilowatz influenced - in further consequence - the cinema of our time and people like Ridley Scott, George Lucas etc.


This piece by Danilowatz here below was made by the way years before Fritz Lang's Metropolis.

Update: Here's is an interesting interview from 1975 William Friedkin had with Fritz Lang, enjoy.

    That Danilowatz image is fantastic.
    I wonder if Miyazaki is a fan as well.
    Thank you for always posting such cool stuff.

    Did I tell you that I have a Danilowatz drawing on my wall? Nothing as nice as these here and in a different style. It depicts a man that looks like a fire fighter talking to a woman in a car. Nice though.
