I've always loved Sight and Sound magazine - published by the BFI and along with Little White Lies definitely the best movie magazine out there.  Its been a pleasure to work for them illustrating the articles below.

The first one is of Polish film director Walerian Borowczyk described by film critics as a 'genius who also happened to be a pornographer'. 

Borowczyk’s films, which often look like a carefully animated paintings are invariably about sex, love and death. He was a surrealist and a provocateur and I wanted to communicate this within the illustration.

The next two are options that I did for the magazines cover of the new movie Boyhood.  Its basically a coming-of-age drama directed by Richard Linklater which incredibly was shot intermittently over an eleven-year period from May 2002 to October 2013 as the main actor, Ellar Coltrane grew from childhood to adulthood. I wanted to communicate the complexities that this journey can often lead to so kept the the tones and textures quite dark while adding playful silhouettes of childhood to add balance. I also two images of Coltrane at the beginning and end of the process. The chosen cover was the simper version at the bottom.
