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...

What a fitting day for these beautiful vinyls from Made by Mutant to show up given Sinners just won best score and best compilation soundtrack at the Grammy’s! I picked up this copy as only just learned they used my prologue illustrations for the sleeves! Here they are with the original print I made

Honestly so surreal to have been a tiny part of Sinners and seeing it blow up the way it has. Never for a million years thought I would have my work feature in an Oscar nominated film 🤯

Last post dates for Valentines! Recommend ordering early as post is slow these days.
Also customers in the US, the cheeto-in-chief is threatening more tariffs again, so prices could go up so take advantage before they do!
UK last recommended Friday 6th Feb, US & Rest of the World - Monday 26th Jan

A little peek into the making of one of my linocut illustrations for ‘Sinners’.
Can’t believe this is a year ago, and still surreal to have my work on film.

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!
Another year flew by with me not creating much, but as we’re being reflective I thought I’d post another piece from ‘Sinners’ that I’m so proud of. Still have to pinch myself that I was a small part of such a big and beautiful thing!
Ty for all the support!

Got a ‘new’ game in for my time off (which can’t come soon enough). How in the hell did Soul Reaver come out 25 years ago - I played the og to death! Can’t wait to revisit Nosgoth.
