Thank you for dropping by!
It is amazing where you found these subjects. and your uncanny subject title that match the pictures' shapes.
i'm diggin yr minimalist + monochrome style rather than full throttle color (dramatic). one of the easy way to improve ourself is to compare against the best and these two are some of my favs.
their books are very exp(MKenna), bought a copy but really worth it.
here we can study their style, vision and execution but we are not trying to copy/duplicate his work. novice vs master....no comparison.

Yes, agree with you on learning their vision but disagree with style and execution as every individual have their own way in portraying their work...
