Meet me in Montauk

This is another film illustration thats been unfinished for a while, so I've just decided to settle with it as it is. I did it all from scratch on Illustrator as a way of becoming familiar with the software, but in retrospect I think it would have benefited from combining hand drawn elements like in the Groundhog Day series I did.
Still, boss film.

Don't mess with me, Porkchop

I re-watched Groundhog Day recently, and its brilliant. Apparently they wanted Tom Hanks for the role, but I'm glad Bill Murray did it instead.
(Not to knock Tom Hanks at all - his laugh in The Money Pit is unbeatable...)

Phil?! Phil CONNORS??

I love Ned, and the main reason I did multiple Groundhog Day illustrations is so I could include him. He's only in the film for a few brief moments, but he sure as heck-fire makes an impression.
Am I right or am I right? Or am I right? Right?

Did he actually refer to himself as "the talent"?

The guy who plays Larry is great at being kind-of-a-prick (for example when he leaves a tip at the bar and then takes it back when nobody's looking).
He's also good as Woogy in There's Something About Mary - so much so that even though I made a point of finding out the actors name, I still refer to him as Woogy in my head.

Three hundred and thirty-nine dollars and eighty-eight cents!

As far as Rita goes, she's generally ok considering she's played by Andie MacDowell.
Although I really hate when he's learning everything about her and he makes a toast to the groundhog, and she gets all sniffy and says 'Well, I always drink to world peace'.
SO WHAT??

Thats right, woodchuck-chuckers - it's GROUNDHOG DAY!

The strangest thing has happened to me - the other day I made a new film illustration for Groundhog Day...
Then the following day I made an illustration for Groundhog Day...
Then the following day I made an illustration for Groundhog Day...
Then the following day I made an illustration for Groundhog Day...
Then the following day I made an illustration for Groundhog Day...
This first one is a wallpaper design featuring the alarm clock.

I'd like to dedicate this to my grandpa, who showed me these moves...

Next up in this series of film illustrations is Little Miss Sunshine - I did this from scratch on Illustrator as a kind of learning exercise, and learnt that in future I will more than likely not do things from scratch on Illustrator.

By the end of it, I realised some of the things I drew at the start could have been done in a fraction of the time, and that I'd been making things needlessly difficult for myself - hooray!

Are you chewing gum???

I've been away for a week, so I'm a little behind with this film drawing project. This second one is based on Sideways, which is brill - I made it a simple cartoon so I didn't have to draw the millions of lines on Thomas Hayden-Churchs crag-tastic grill.

This is my boy, H.W...

Here's a new project - each week, I plan to complete a drawing based on a film.

Thats it.

I made a list of films that are good, starting here with 'There Will Be Blood', but I may not limit myself to the good ones. I mean, surely there's room for a picture of Nicholas Cage vs The Bees?
