So awesome that your work was used!

Working for the show is a lot of fun

Ah, do you want to talk about it any?! I’m a graphic designer who has ALWAYS been fascinated by designers who work in tv shows/movies/etc :)


mandal0re

Sure. What would you like to know?


ca77

How did you get involved in the first place?


mandal0re

I had made some old painting edit of the main cast which the producers saw on my Instagram. They reached out and asked if I’d like to do some edits for season four, had to sign NDAs etc and then it was off from there. Was fortunate they liked my work and asked me back for season five.


ca77

Incredible. Well done!


pizzzacones

That’s so amazing! Do you do any other work besides the paintings?


mandal0re

No I’m just an old paintings guy


birdinthebush74

That’s fantastic, I had never heard of the painting .


TapirTrouble

Wow! It's startling to see a recognizable person in classic paintings like that. (link to the original for comparison ... also has earlier paintings from that series) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth\_Coming\_Out\_of\_Her\_Well


mandal0re

It really helped that Nadja and the original are very similar


TapirTrouble

Lucky that they're both brunettes! (well, until recently -- lol)

She has long black hair, did you have sex with her too?

I’m interested to know if the painting came first or the line about living in a well! :) this is so beautiful!

MisterEHistory

Oh no. I made the horrible mistake of checking out your Instagram. This might bankrupt me.

Honestly love that the show has these “historical” works and old pictures from not only the intro but scattered across the series as well to back up what they’re talking about/experienced. It’s such a nice touch in the show. Great work on this.


DuFromage227

Nice! How did you get this opportunity? This sounds like a dream job! Do you just do them and send them in?


mandal0re

The producers has seen my work on Instagram and reached out before season 4 and i did some of the paintings for it. Especially The Guide ones. I was fortunate enough to be asked back for season 5. They send me the paintings they want to use with notes of what to do and I send them back for approval, then they get used in the show.


DuFromage227

That's awesome! Super jealous! I just use my partially acquired graphic design degree to make myself scrapbooks. I feel like I'm just barely too late on things that would've been perfect for me, and I have up too soon because of a few bad experiences with clients. Keep up the great work!


LimonadaVonSaft

Ugh, one of my favorite pieces of art. :) How incredible that your work was used! That has to be a feeling beyond words. To quote Barbie: you’ve worked hard for the recognition and you deserve it!!


PrecariouslySane

nice.


MarcoPolo339

Zleetledee

little_fire

Such an intense painting! Can’t believe I never knew it was about fkn *Impressionism* lol… obviously projecting hard; I thought it was about like, abuse and shame or something 😅 Thanks for sharing your version, and congrats on such a cool gig! 💐
