The Killers – glow in the dark

The spark for this idea came to me while watching Miyazaki’s Porco Rosso with my 6 year old daughter. The film is filled with all these sweeping cinematic sequences of big skies dotted with small fighter planes. I started piecing things together in my head and liked positioning a red warhawk style plane next to the words “The Killers”. The rest of the necessary show info made some sense as the vapor trail. I then created a glow in the dark layer showing many of history’s most deadly dictators to help contrast the serenity of the blue sky.
