More on Beauty:

“In the late 70s and early 80s, ethnic music and fashion was becoming more popular in the cities. It felt fresh and new. It was the end of the rock era and I was excited about what was to come. For me, that was the future depicted in Blade Runner. Like Los Angeles in the movie, a melting pot of different ethnicities, with the languages all blended together to create something both familiar and foreign. I feel like I’m always searching for that world, peering down back alleys in seedy neighborhoods looking for an old Chinese guy hacking DNA. These were the images that inspired me throughout the 80s, and took shape in Neo Geo and Beauty.”
