Autism Plays Itself.

 Not long after seeing the first cut of AUTISM PLAYS ITSELF I started on a series of illustrations for myself basically to help me process the whole project (I'm a visuals kinda guy what can I say?).

Recently I've had a chance to revisit/rejig/re-imagine them for the 17th edition of Archivio Aperto (this years theme is The Art of Memory) taking place from October 24 to 27, 2024 in Bologna, Italy.

The Dying Moon.

Faux 70s movie poster art for Robin Elliott-Knowles sequence in The Stimming Pool - a hybrid film that presents the possibilities of a world informed by autistic perspectives and perception. 

 

It's only fleetingly onscreen but gave the director a few variations ranging from video box style to print ad to see which worked best.

 

Finalized poster art.

The Witch.

A few years back I did a series of illustrations for a one-off publication called Gaslit and Gruesome where I had to draw Anya Taylor-Joy as Thomasin from Robert Eggers 2015 chiller The Witch and to be honest that illustration has bugged me since as I felt that I didn't really get her 'right' at the time.

Well I've had some free time so I tried again.

Better late than never!
