Very excited to add this macabre piece to my collection! Officially licensed through AMC and Gallery1988, this 18″x 24″ print titled “The Descent into Heisenberg” is hand-signed and numbered (#140/300) by the artist, who explains his inspiration for the Breaking Bad artwork below.
“The moment I wanted to capture was from the episode called “Crawl Space.” In it, Gus is threatening to kill Walter's family while Skyler has inexplicably given Ted a large amount of their fortune. When Walt realizes the money is gone, he suffers a massive breakdown beneath the floorboards of their home. The inspiration was Walt's transformation from caring teacher to maniacal madman. I sort of see him as classic villain like the Joker or even Jack Nicholson in “The Shining.” That laughter he has beneath the floorboards is EVIL. The coloring is meant to look like hell... or death... probably both. The orange shadowing from the light is [also] coffin shaped, foreshadowing Walt's impending doom.” - Todd Slater, American poster artist 🖌️
