a touch magical, no ?
yes. yes. and yes. for all the grit . . it was a very magical time.
check out . . the uniqueness of the surfaces, and the ‘opalescence’. which is technically .. very magical, too.
mother-of-pearl-like. against a ‘metallic’ feel.
plus there’s a really nice bounce of ‘light’, and the detail design is awesome.
not something you get to see . . every day.
M. HENRY JONES is a talented artist in his own right, too, and in many fields.
he does mostly 3-D animation, as well as ‘Lenticular’ and . . ‘fly’s eye 3D’ Photography.
. . as well as putting out the occasional short doc/documentary.
he did take that wonderful portrait of WC BEVAN at Hash’s show on Peel St, A MAN OUT OF TIME.
in fact you can watch some of his stuff, and get an idea of his graphic sensibilities,
here on his:. . SNAKEMONKEY TV
where you will also find, his very touching ode to the late, great, and totally missed . .
master silkscreener and East Village war hippie . . MARK ENGER of EXPLODING SKY.

ok. talkin’ bout . . UNRAVELING REALITIES !!
here’s a little time travel back to . . YEAR 2002.
M. HENRY JONES at the opening of his . . ‘THE DEPTHOGRAPHY SHOW’, NOV 15, 2002.
at THE PROPOSITION GALLERY. back when it was, and .. in Chelsea.
it was actually one of the very first shows I ever tried to deliberately photo-document, that wasn’t someone who was just . . a friend of mine, having an opening.
M. HENRY JONES, lenticular art work . . in ‘THE DEPTHOGRAPHY SHOW’, FALL 2002.
it was such a wild concept. as you walked by the images shape-shifted.
images, sch-images . . far-out cartoon art !!
one of my very fave shows . . ever.
for real.
totally off the wall.
still keep the pix .. in my best-of-ever top drawer hard copy album,
from back in the .. 35mm .. day.
