Mural from the movie Don't Be Afraid of the Dark

Art Print Props

Here's a look at the art prints available from my website used as props in the movie
Don't be Afraid of the Dark.  

In their context, they're illustrations made in 1909 by the movie's artist, Blackwood.  They're maddened ruminations on his son's abduction by fairies.

This was the first version of the fairy depiction.  I was going for something very mysterious, as though the artist had only half glimpsed what they looked like (the earlier depictions of the fairies in this series hadn't been made yet.)  In the end it was modified to more closely match the actual creature designs I worked on that went into the movie.  The final version of the illustration can be seen in the last screenshot below.

Book Cover

Here's a little look at the book cover featuring my mural artwork from Don't Be Afraid of the Dark.

Guillermo Del Toro had it done as a completely separate accompanying story to the movie.  Written by Christopher Golden, it contains some of my Blackwood drawings from the film and is fully illustrated by Troy Nixey.  The book's got a really nice texture and feel, and I'm really thrilled by how the cover ended up.  Both the book and the movie are out.

Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark - Trailer

Here's a new trailer for a movie I designed on:

This trailer has some nice shots of the creatures, and also some shots of my actual artwork itself (a mural and some period illustrations.)  It should be coming out late August, and I'll post more details about it soon.
