ALIEN
The below perspective and cutaway artworks by John were originally commissioned for and published in 2015’s ‘ALIEN : THE WEYLAND-YUTANI REPORT ‘ by Insight Editions ( with the exception of the Dropship cutaway which was completed prior to the book commission ) . They appear here as different designs to the book.
This blog essay reveals the significance of the ALIEN franchise in John’s life - a piece he was invited to write by his friend Darrell Curtis, curator of the Nostromo Files website.
