Welcome! Here you’ll find a selection of my keyframe illustrations and concept art from 300. You can also find some of these images in “300: The Art of the Movie” published by Dark Horse Books. The style of the illustrations were meant to reflect the bold, abstract shapes and colors evoked by Frank Miller’s graphic novel. It was a real pleasure working on this exciting feature film. Please remember that these images are extremely copyrighted ( Warner Bros.)
