The Holy Mountain

MOVIE POSTER / TRACING / ILLUSTRATION
Project Overview
Produced by ABKO Records, funded mostly by John and Yoko from The Beatles, The Holy Mountain by Alejandro Jodorowski epitomizes the brilliant madness of the seventies. A sweeping epic of psychedelia with no censorship, unrivaled sets and underlying meanings to literally every single visual aspect. The ultimate 70's trip.
My Contributions
For the illustration, I chose one of my favorite scenes from the movie. Since the movie is already so visually stunning, I thought that simplifying the illustration, would provide a bit more intrigue. Along with the poster I designed a limited edition ticket for special screening, printed on blotter paper.

Fonts
Capitol,Helvetica, Aaux Office
Color
Standard CMYK
With the movie being obscure in the first place, any large still shots to take inspiration from were difficult. I took multiple screen shots from youtube, blew them up sketched them and traced what parts I needed from my laptop screen.

The blotter paper ticket, and screen art was hand done and shot in my garage and cut with a simple perforation tool.
