BLADE RUNNER - OWL’S EYE VIEW
24x36” / 0.25 rOtring Isograph / July 2022
This is the illustration I did for my first release with Bottleneck Gallery, a print inspired by Blade Runner! Although they’ve since sold out, the link to them is here (for the sake of archiving and for nosy parkers).
This was such a brilliant project to work on. I’m a big fan of Blade Runner (and it’s glorious sequel), so being asked to create a piece of work inspired by the film was such an honour. Initially I was going to create a piece from the view of the streets, where I could show the bustling markets and the high-rise buildings surrounding it, but I quickly realised thats pretty much the vision of every other artist who has created a Blade Runner piece.
So instead I wanted to try and create something unique that would stand me out from the other pieces that have already been created. I opted for an aerial view, where I could show the city at night being illuminated by the countless advertisements and signs, as well as numerous Spinners and blimps flying across the skyline.
