chadmichaelward:

Remember a month or so back when I mentioned that I had collaborated with Michael “Roz” Rosner of EYE LEVEL STUDIO on what was possibly some of the best work of my career?

Well, Roz just released two preview images from the series: Wamuhu Waweru in a gorgeous headpice by Caley Johnson of Miss G Designs, featuring body painting from Roz.

Each print in the series is being released as a limited-edition high-end metal print run. 

If you’re interested in learning how to obtain one of these prints or if you’re a promoter looking put together a show featuring this stunning body of work, drop me a line!

I like that idea for a fifth Indy movie. I think Ford has it in him for one final movie. I'd love it if they'd split the final movie into two parts for a truly epic finale.

I’m not the biggest fan of two-part finales; but one more Ford film, just gimme. GIMME

I agree with all of that. Short Round is awesome, next to Indy himself he's one of my favorite characters of the series. His chemistry with Indy was great and I too was always disappointed we never saw more of him after TOD. Having him back in KOTCS instea

In my dreams, I see a fifth Indiana Jones film with Harrison Ford — I don’t care how old he is, let him do a little bit more archaeological puzzle solving — and in this fifth film, Indy and Shorty get back together to track down Mutt, who’s disappeared on an adventure. Would make great character conflict, and Shorty, who’s older than Mutt, would have a bit of a side eye for Mutt. Or, perhaps, it turns out that Shorty was found by an adoptive family, and that Indy let him go for the boy’s own good. And now grown Short Round gets to adventure with Indy once more, and appreciates what the old man did for him. Would make for great character interaction at the very least.

I forgot but what is it that make Raiders and TOD the best for you? For me, Raiders is the start of it all and is sheer perfection in every way, and TOD just takes everything to into exciting new territory. I really do think the two compliment each other g

I’m just a huge fan of the adventure/treasure hunt genre, which Indiana Jones pioneered for a whole new generation. Pulp stories from the 30’s and 40’s make me giddy, and while The Goonies was the first film I remember seeing that had a treasure hunt theme to it, Treasure Island and the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland make me happy. Raiders, then, is well-crafted as a film, as both a thrilling piece of entertainment and as a story, and Temple is very much the same. While Temple is darker, Temple contains more themes of family and loyalty and taking care of others. Indy and Short Round’s relationship is both friendship and a pseudo father/son, and they genuinely love each other and take care of each other. The only downside to Temple is that it presents this fantastic relationship between the two, only to move further into Raiders and then it’s gone. And since Spielberg and Lucas have moved away from Temple, we’ve never seen Shorty since. And that’s a damn shame.
