My Own Private Idaho

MatRoff loves this

In the run up to 26th anniversary of River Phoenix’s death, I wanted to create an illustration in memory of one of his greatest performances alongside Keanu Reeves in My Own Private Idaho.

The story follows two friends, Mike and Scott, as they embark on a journey of personal discovery that takes them from Portland, Oregon to Mike’s hometown in Idaho, and then to Rome in search of Mike’s mother.
It’s considered a landmark film in the New Queer Cinema movement, an early 1990s movement in queer-themed independent filmmaking.
Since its 1991 release, the film has grown in popularity and been deemed as a cult classic, especially among LGBT audiences.

Artwork was sketched with ink, before being painted and type added in Photoshop.
