Sean D’anconia Meets The East

Oh wow, I am so in love with Sean D’Anconia‘s style. I found him through a Good post, and am kicking myself for not finding him earlier.

Here’s an image that he did called “Hana To Doto” that depicts a gambler from his Majestyland mythology. Considering that I’m already drawn to the Japanese motif for obvious reasons (my other home), this gorgeous image shows so much of the turbulent undercurrents of a country that is serenely beautiful on its surface. Past, present, and future blend seamlessly in this image, just as it does in the country, so that it’s almost as if time has the ability to stand still so that we get interesting snapshots of a culture.

Sean’s cinematic grasp of the beauty that resides in the details is evident on all of his work, and I’ll be swimming through his creations for quite some time! It’s amazing to watch Sean’s short interview on Good, and feel a connection because he’s obviously drawn to many of the same things that I find creatively inspiring (while making Japan feel just a little bit closer to those of us who can’t be there).

Sean finds creative Eastern-style inspiration in his native Toronto that helps him to create a cinematic world that comes to vibrant life in his head, and then onto a wide range of fine art media. His world is a seriously mod place to be, and one that draws the eye as well as the soul. There’s a cool interview from The Pin Up magazine that’s on his site, so that we can get to know him just a little bit more.

Thanks, Good, for helping me to find Sean!
