Jaws, jet pilots and incredible cleavage by Robert Longo
<< Back
Charcoal illustrator Jun 30, 2009 at 09:11
New York-based illustrator, Robert Longo's pieces are singular in focus and whatever it is that he attempts to illustrate, he does so with technical precision. He works successfully in many mediums but it's his charcoal renderings that are particularly interesting.

Primarily using dark backdrops he illustrates the detail of a single, albeit random, subject such as the engulfing jaws of a shark, the ample cleavage of a mysterious woman and a series of amazing jet pilot helmets with reference throwbacks from Top Gun and Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. Awesome work.

To the right of this post are some samples of his illustrations and to see more of Robert Longo's extensive catalog of work please visit RobertLongo.com.
