They have the poster already. This is the descent drawn as a route.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiclée on 230gsm premium fine art paper, textured matte, archival and acid-free. Available in A2 or A1, with US sizes of 24 x 18 in and 36 x 24 in, unframed or framed. Deeply researched and designed by me in East Sussex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI mapped Stanley Kubrick's 1980 horror so that the beats inside the Overlook Hotel become stations, drawn in the style of a classic London Underground map. Jack Torrance's slow disintegration runs parallel to Wendy, young Danny and his gift, the Overlook chef Dick Hallorann, and the spectral cast of the hotel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Shining is a film people rewatch for its details, then struggle to describe as a whole. This puts the whole descent on one sheet, so the order of events and their overlaps are finally visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI built it from a scene-by-scene pass through the film rather than from a synopsis. It rewards every closer look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCharacters and key plot points on the map\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJack Torrance, played by Jack Nicholson, forms the central line, with Wendy Torrance, played by Shelley Duvall, and their son Danny, played by Danny Lloyd, running alongside him through the Overlook's isolation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScatman Crothers plays Dick Hallorann, the hotel chef who shares Danny's psychic gift and returns partway through the film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey stations include the Overlook's opening tour, the “All work and no play” typewriter reveal, and the hedge maze finale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do I make each print?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach one is a Giclée on 230gsm premium fine art paper with a textured matte finish, archival and acid-free, so the colours hold for years.
