Borrowing liberally from (or hopefully tipping my hat very respectfully to) Richard Amsel’s beautiful poster for the John Wayne film The Shootist, this was the first concept sketch I did for The Brothers Bloom poster that felt right. By this point I’d tried a variety of failed concepts, including an oil painting that was going for a Gone With The Wind sort of feel, but all of my attempts had just felt weird or wrong. I think this sketch is pretty funny in retrospect, but Rian must have seen something in its messy scribbles, ‘cause he told me to drop everything else and go for it.
(For anyone who’s a fan of posters, I’d recommend trying to find the sketch that Amsel did when preparing for The Shootist, which in my opinion is even cooler than his finished painting.)
I’ve always loved...use the “scribbles”
I don’t post it so that you can post it, with your infinite more coolness!!!
