One of the Ridley’s “Ridleygrams” from the production of Blade Runner
“Ridley Scott is one of the finest visual stylists in films. He was trained as a painter and art director, and is an established graphic designer. In the early stages of the production of Blade Runner, he communicated his ideas in sketches, which became known among stuff as “Ridleygrams”. He cites a variety of inspirations and influences for his visual style in Blade Runner, among them Hogarth drawnings, “thirties” photographs, and the contemporary comic strip work of Jean Giraud (better known as Moebius)”.
