Last Saturday I went to The Hammer to view R. Crumb's newest works. He has illustrated the entire book of Genesis, and it is amazing. It was really cool to re-read the stories through R. Crumbs eyes. I expected something rather blasphemous, but found his approach to the illustrations rather direct and literal.
The pieces I found most intriguing were the illustrations of God. I really like how he depicted light with black and white directional lines. I also found the sex scenes to be humorous and quite typical of Crumb.
The show is great, and I seriously recommend it!... If you don't get a chance to see it, at least pick up a copy of the book... it's only $24.95.
thanks jeebus
