The Frankenstein family portrait, oil on linen, 120x150cm

I had the honor of making this painting for Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein.

I'm SO EXCITED to see that fantastically talented artists @bettyjiang.bsky.social and @arthurgain.bsky.social were commissioned to make paintings for this movie! I wonder who else did work for GdT's Frankenstein?!

To see a painting I’ve made in a movie is an extraordinary feeling, but to see it in such film as 'Frankenstein' - that’s something truly transformative. Huge thanks to Guillermo del Toro, Tamara Deverell, and Kate Hawley for the opportunity and the unforgettable experience.

The painting I made for Guillermo del Toro’s @realgdt.bsky.social new movie 'Frankenstein' is on display at the exhibition at The Old Selfridges Hotel in London. If you’re in the area, don’t miss this breathtaking show

Over the years I moved away from pen & paper animation, as many clients would opt for cheaper digital processes. But seeing how industry is conspiring to make creatives' labour & IP completely valueless, it's a great time to dust off my lightbox, so at least I own something physical from my work.

Watched Sinners in the cinema yesterday - was blown away. For me, it's one of the best vampire movies in recent years.

"When art critics get together they talk about Form and Structure and Meaning. When artists get together they talk about where you can buy cheap turpentine." – Pablo Picasso

Reminds me of this eternal Ted Chiang banger-

I don't 'refuse to use' AI, I just don't use AI; in the same way that I don't shoplift, or plagiarise other people's books - it requires no effort of will, it's just not something I would think of doing

Back to work on this piece

Happy Star Wars Day everyone ✨
