Bug

Happy Monday,

Over the last couple of weeks I've been fortunate enough to get some tonally varied assignments. I love the challenge of switching gears from piece to piece once in a while.

Last week I got a call from Colin Tunstall at Esquire asking if I was available to do an illustration for a review of William Friedkin's Bug. The review was about the up-and-coming actor Michael Shannon's intense and frightening performance.

I tried to communicate this in the sketch and then on the final, implementing more texture than I usually do and compositionally trying to create the sense of anxiety that I got from watching the trailer, which you can view here.




In other news, the new issue of Swallow just hit stores (finally). Be sure to look both ways before running across the street to get it.
thanks for reading,

Frank Stockton
