BRESSON'S BYAKUYA

Here is an illustration I was commissioned to create for the Japanese 35mm release of Robert Bresson's FOUR NIGHTS OF A DREAMER ("BYAKUYA" in Japanese). My first piece of art made specifically for a Japanese audience, I couldn't be more proud to be involved with this restoration of Bresson's most rarely seen (and uncharacteristically romantic) feature, coming to Eurospace theatres just after the esteemed retrospective of Bresson's films made its way around the US. This illustration, as well as the drawings below featuring some memorable images from the film, will be featured in the program book for this release. Learn more at Byakuya2012.

Here's a poster design I made to promote the Belcourt Theatre's Robert Bresson festival currently underway in Nashville, TN. Update: A limited run of these screenprints will be available beginning Sunday April 1st exclusively at the Belcourt. If you're not in Nashville but would like to purchase a print, contact Toby Leonard at toby [at] belcourt [dot] org.
