Choose Life
This poster was chosen to be exhibited at The Big Screen Print exhibition along with other 24 artists in Dublin. The brief was a movie inspired poster that's not showing the movie title.
Instead of illustrating a scene or a character, I decided to visually interpret every single bit of my favourite quote from one of my favourite movies - Trainspotting. The whole piece is the "life" that Renton was talking about.

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed- interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing sprit- crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing you last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life...
