Influences

I showed the film to several of my colleagues today, using a projector and with surround sound. Thankfully, the reaction was positive.

I've been thinking about what influenced the visuals in the film. The thought was sparked while I was reading PulpHope, a book all about Paul Pope, a comic artist and writer. The images he draws - in particular, a teenage girl called HR in his series Thb - certainly influenced the initial character concepts for Suicide Bridge. Other obvious influences are Jaime Hernandez (Love and Rockets) and Charles Burns (Black Hole).
