Marvel's Jessica Jones Main Title Sequence

Design

Illustration

Design and illustrations for Marvel’s Jessica Jones Main Title Sequence. We see through the point of view of Jessica Jones, a detective superhero who suffers from PTSD and alcoholism after committing murder under Kilgrave's control. Her blurry visions are materialized through voyeuristic vignettes in NYC's Hell's Kitchen, painted and smeared over by brushstrokes that dissolve all delineations between subject and background. When coming up with the style and art direction, I was heavily inspired by Edward Hopper and Gerhard Richter whose work influenced me during my early years as an oil painter.
