Poor Things/Lanark.


Work in progress.

A set of illustrations for the Alasdair Gray Archive exploring Gray's work through an Autistic lens. 


The Poor Things cigarette cards are based on the idea of the book being filmed by RKO/Universal in the 30s with a cast including Charles Laughton as Goodwin Baxter, Colin Clive as Archibald McCandless and Kathleen Burke as Bella (it's the same fictional film universe where I imagine Orson Welles making a Batman film in 1973 starring John Cassavetes as Bruce Wayne and Malcolm McDowell fresh off A Clockwork Orange as The Joker, it's a hobby I guess). 




Poor Things (Inspired by Bride of Frankenstein) with a Letraset and Tippex title card.
 


Whereas the Lanark illustrations are a take on the original art for Book III and it's inspiration.
