Nickel | Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Alternative Poster
I’m an aspiring artist and current tattoo apprentice. I make art for the fun of it and am glad others enjoy it.Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, directed by Terry Gilliam, follows the story of Raoul Duke (Johnny Depp) and his attorney Dr. Gonzo (Benicio del Toro), who drive a red convertible across the Mojave desert to Las Vegas with a suitcase full of drugs to cover a motorcycle race. As their consumption of drugs increases at an alarming rate, the stoned duo trash their hotel room and fear legal repercussions. Duke begins to drive back to L.A., but after an odd run-in with a cop (Gary Busey), he returns to Sin City and continues his wild drug binge.

Having recently rewatched this movie, I wanted to create a poster that conveyed the chaotic energy of the storyline and acting while using more elements from the movie than the popular, official poster featuring a distorted Raoul Duke.

Nickle's favorite films are A Clockwork Orange, Land of the Lost, Baby Driver, and 2001: A Space Odyssey.
