Noir and Neo Noir
Big Shadows offers a unique selection of artwork, clothing, and other items inspired by the film noir and neo noir genres.
​
Classic film noir movies and more modern neo noir films are referenced in the work here, but I also view noir as an aesthetic that can apply to a wide range of subjects and environments. Crow noir, cat noir, alien noir, cyborg noir, underwater noir - the only limits are my fevered imagination and skills.
“In Greek tragedy, they fall from great heights. In noir, they fall from the curb.”
― Dennis Lehane
