I was privately commissioned by a group of movie and screenprint enthusiasts to design and illustrate (or in this case illustrate first) a poster for the breakout action smash hit bad ass film Mad Max: Fury Road. It was a dream project and I went all out. The poster began as a typography only layout with the idea that large letterforms would be filled with illustrations. I spent upwards of 90 hours illustrating and developed a pointillism technique in Adobe Illustrator on my Cintiq. Each dot was done by hand. The group was thrilled with what was produced and the effort lead to several upcoming commissions. Both posters were printed with metallic inks. A regular ‘Wasteland Daytime’ version and a ‘Night Terror’ version were created.

 

At the last minute, and as a special thank you to the group, I donated my commission fee to print a black and white silvertone version of the variant with metallic inks. It remains to be see if George Miller will eventually release a black and white version of the film although he has teased he might. If he does, then the group members will have an extra special piece of memorabellia.

 

The poster has so far been featured on Fubiz, Slashfilm and Hypebeast.
