What a journey my illustrations have been on…

If I’d known back at the end of 2024 that I was making artwork that would feature in a multi Oscar winning movie, I would never have believed it!

Utterly thrilled to see the team at #sinners get so much deserved recognition! 🏆🏆🏆🏆

Many congrats to all the cast, and all the winners and nominees.

I am deeply honoured to have been a small part of such a huge amazing film.
If it’s the only film I ever get to work on then I can’t think of one that I would have rather been a part of! 🧛🏻🖤🏆

@blockforest I loved the movie and in retrospect: it makes perfect sense that you provided art for it, it fits the themes and the style so well. Congrats to you!

@okr thanks so much, ah I was just very lucky they found me, could have been any number of spooky artists really, but I'm very glad I got the chance to work on it :)

@polterink oh make sure you see it, it's a fun film. Yes, was so pleased when they commissioned me for it, was nice they reached out to a linocut artist rather than try to fluff it!
