Taxi Driver — Regular

“Loneliness has followed me my whole life. Everywhere. In bars, in cars, sidewalks, stores, everywhere. There’s no escape. I’m God’s lonely man... June 8th. My life has taken another turn again. The days can go on with regularity over and over, one day indistinguishable from the next. A long continuous chain. Then suddenly, there is a change.”
Travis Bickle

Taxi Driver — Red—Light Variant

“Listen, you f**kers, you screwheads. Here is a man who would not take it anymore. A man who stood up against the scum, the c**ts, the dogs, the filth, the s**t. Here is a man who stood up! Here is...”
Travis Bickle

Taxi Driver — Pencils Variant

“ I got some bad ideas in my head.”
Travis Bickle

Taxi Driver — Porno Variant

“Taking me to a place like this is about as exciting as saying to me “Let’s f**k.”

Blade Runner: Rosen

Screen print inspired by neo—noir science fiction classic Blade Runner directed by Ridley Scott and starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young and Edward James Olmos. Screenplay written by Hampton Fancher and David Peoples, is a modified adaptation of the Philip K. Dick's novel ‘Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?’ and tells a story of a blade runner who must pursue and terminate four replicants who stole a ship in space and have returned to Earth to find their creator. Both versions of this poster use 30 colour screens and Regular is printed on Stardream Citrine paper while Variant is printed on Matte Gold foil.

This is a remastered version of an artwork originally created for Imagine FX magazine back in 2016. I was approached to create a cover and a workshop for one of the issues and my task was to use Blade Runner and Rachael as a source of inspiration. That cover image was made into a very limited giclee print (5 white & 5 black copies) back in 2017 but due to many people asking for a print I decided to make it into a much more refined silk screen version.
