Bobby over at Kitsune Noir recently got a hold of me and asked if I wanted to be a member of his super-elite Poster Club. I asked if there were membership cards. He said there were. So, I agreed. (I'm not terribly hard to win over.)
Anyway, Kitsune Noir Poster Club's first project is a dream job: take one of your favorite books and redesign the cover. Sounds fun, right? It's equal parts terrifying and inspiring. I had a ton of fun working through this one, and in an interview on Kitsune Noir I'll go through a bit of the creative process of making the poster.
Who knew that making an image to represent an existential, non-sensical, non-linear science fiction novel about an intergalactic colonist and prisoner of war would be difficult? Poo tee weet. Who thought that fitting space and war and four-dimensional beings into one picture would take some time? I didn't. I didn't really think my selection through whenever I chose it. But, now that I'm done and happy with the results, I'm glad I didn't. But, so many ideas died in the process. So it goes.

This print for the Kitsune Noir Poster Club is my interpretation of Herman Melville's classic novel, Moby Dick.
"Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee. Sink all coffins and all hearses to one common pool! and since neither can be mine, let me then tow to pieces, while still chasing thee, though tied to thee, thou damned whale! Thus, I give up the spear!"
- Moby Dick, Herman Melville

A print for the Kitsune Noir Poster Club, and an imagining of a pivotal scene in my all-time favorite novel, Cormac McCarthy's "The Road."
An excerpt from the passage:
'Yeah. He looked at the boy. You won't shoot, he said.
That's what you think.
You ain't got but two shells. Maybe just one. And they'll hear the shot.
Yes they will, but you won't.
How do you figure that?
Because the bullet travels faster than sound. It will be in your brain before you can hear it. To hear it you need a frontal lobe and things with names like colliculus and temporal gyrus and you wont have them anymore. They'll just be soup.'
(pencil, watercolor, ink pen)

A print for the Kitsune Noir Poster Club, a suitably bucolic reflection on Henry David Thoreau's Walden.
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."

This will be the upcoming home of the Kitsune Noir Poster Club. It's going to feature curated prints by all kinds of artists & designers creating around central themes. The first wave of prints should be coming in the next couple weeks, so keep your eyes peeled.
