The Revenant

The Oscars goes live this weekend on the 28th, and all I keep thinking is that I sincerely hope Leo get's one because I truly feel it's long overdue. 

Most of my favourite films are ones he's starred in; Shutter Island, The Great Gatsby, Inception...I mean come on, Titanic. But, last month myself and Avnish went to see The Revenant and that then booted all of these off the top spot. Everything in it captivated me. The cinematography, the story, the filming style, the colours. My mind was quite creatively blown when I left the cinema, so much so I felt like I had to create a pattern to release some of that creative overflow.

Only using the weapons and animals featured in the film, I wanted to create a simple and stark design to mirror the film. I know this is far from capturing the sheer beauty that The Revenant provides, but I love it none the less. 

I'm hoping to have this up in my Society6 and Etsy shops soon, so be tuned for more updates!

If you're tuning in this weekend for the Oscars, I hope you'll be joining me in sending out all those positive vibes to Leo - I don't think the internet could cope with another year of Poor Leo memes.
