I’m delighted to share the case study from Perception for the prologue sequence to Sinners.
I was commissioned to create a series of digital illustrations with the result being this eerie, linocut-inspired vision that fuses Southern folklore, ancestral storytelling, and vampire myth...

Have you seen the new Frankenstein yet? Def more of an adaptation than a faithful retelling, but done with Del Toro's stylistic flair, a visual feast! Loved it, and Elordi's performance was a highlight, a stunning monster.
Here's my linocut rendition of the mad scientist himself Victor Frankenstein

Today's the day! Can't wait to watch Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein tonight!! Hearing such good things and it's great to see some monster movie classics given new breath.
Here's my little linocut Frankenstein's monsters bookmark (I just call him Frankie).

Mabs Drawlloween Club Day 29: UFO
So who watched Alien Earth?! I absolutely loved it, possibly the best thing to happen in the franchise in a long time. I hope they do a season two! In the meantime here's my little ode to the original with a xeno riding the nostromo like a kids pay per ride machine.
