Rashomon

Rashomon is one of those movies that is amazing for some and boring for others. But I think its one of those pieces of art where having some background information about the intention of its maker, and context about the time it was created, can add amazing light to the subject. And in the case of Rashomon, the role light literally plays in the film. Its an amazing film and one I was happy to deign a poster for (or very specifically three posters) in Poster Design class

Many species of the common griffin are considered rare or endangered. Now, some can only be seen in game reserves and zoos. But actions are being taken to preserve many species in their natural habitats

The common griffin has sometimes been domesticated though most are still considered a wild animal and do not make very good pets.
