THOUGHTS
A D U M B R E A L I S A T I O N
I've been so focused on style and the concept of vintage movie/theatre posters, that I was becoming increasingly stressed that I couldn't nail down 'the look'. Everything felt too modern, or the colours weren't right, or the composition overall didn't fit with the research I had done. And then I had a dumb realisation, if I carried on, I would end up with an exact copy of the ones I had been researching, but that I would lose the influence of my individual practice. Theres no point creating the exact same poster, pixel for pixel, copying someone else's work isn't illustration, its theft.
