In a film as visually rich and diverse in location as Apocalypse Now, I didn’t feel my usual ‘pick a great scene, and reinterpret it from another angle’ that I’ve been doing lately. It’d been a while since I did what I feel is a traditional movie poster, and wanted to show that I’m not a one-trick pony. I hate working in one style all the time. I did that ‘Murray x6? print a while back, showing that I can nail a likeness no problem, and then spent the next year or so purposefully avoiding portraiture almost entirely, focusing more on environments and setting. With this one, I wanted to throw in some likenesses, montage/collage and design, and really kick it out. A lot of artists work in one style or deal with a predictable subject matter time and time again. It can be important for branding purposes- as it makes the artist quickly recognizable.
