The Bible epilogue text can be found here (you may have to
scroll down a bit to find the exact
part...).
My intentions
Danny Boyle has made a few really decent films. His latest movie is the basis for this one. I am aware that loads of people wont have seen it, so the strip needs to work without the audience being able to make the connection, which I think it does... anyway, the film is a tremendous meditation on the experience of flying into the sun, and the subsequent dangers. For sci-fi freaks out there (like myself) this is a treat of the highest order, and for those non-plussed with flying about in zero-gravity, this is still a very deep piece of work.
From a christian point of view it echoes lots of themes that are writ large across the Bible. God's holiness is a terrible and dangerous aspect to His being and one would do well to wear protection! The strip points at the only protection that will do - the shade that God has provided.
Style notes
This is my first serious use of tradition ink dipping pens. I have been really struggling to find something decent and worth swapping with the existing stuff that I use, but I made the discovery a few days back. There is a big romance with using black ink and old-style nibs on crisp white paper. It is more scary, but feels so authentic.

Below are a few of my sketchbook developments. Email me if you see the film. I suspect that, like The Matrix, loads of Bible talks are going to based on his film in the coming months.
