A few months back I was commissioned by Kirk Hammett and his management to design the poster for his current exhibit with the ROM - Royal Ontario Museum! The project went from one piece to two pieces after a few excited discussions. (My 15-year-old self has been freaking out these past couple of months!!)

It was fun to imagine Kirk in the anatomical style. After some back and forth with management we found a great photo that came across as dark (but not cheesy). After designing the Emma Ruth Rundle poster I wanted to bring more illustration to the foreground on pieces like this. I was able to do that with the rats and bats. Since there were vampire bats in the NOSFERATU poster - I wanted to bring them into this piece. And since rats are iconic in depicting Nosferatu I thought it would be cool to include them as well. I tried to imagine the subject was awakening from a long sleep in their crypt.

I also designed the “IT’S ALIVE” logo!

Creating the collage was a lot of fun too. There might be a few easter eggs hidden in the details!

So stoked that this was made available at the ROM!!! I (sorta) made it into a MUSEUM!!!!

These are printed using a special metallic ink combo, this print actually changes as you walk around it for an optical illusion that’s not to be missed!
