AMC’s Breaking Bad has long been one of my favorite shows. I started watching this show while the 2nd season was airing and got hooked fast! Besides the brilliant writing, acting, direction, and production of this series, I LOVE the dark twisted humor that gets injected into the scripts, as well as the actor’s ability to keep it “light†off-set too. This clip [1] from Steven Michael Quezada’s talk show The After After Party which featured Bryan Cranston “transforming†into his character Walter White is just hilarious.
Inspired by this idea of transformation (a major theme in the show), I made this original illustration of the infamous Heisenberg costume elements. I absolutely love the way creator Vince Gilligan and Bryan Cranston established the lead character’s alias with the simplest of elements: essentially, that awesome black pork pie hat! Of course, the sunglasses are an important element too, but I actually prefer Walt’s “Dad†glasses in this getup because it reminds us of his “other†sideâ€"the one that we hope is still somewhere inside this tortured anti-hero. The humanity of Walt is his real conflict, and that which we can so easily relate to. How a struggling high school teacher with a second job who desperately tries to provide for his family ends up with a fatal diagnosis, then the road he chooses, for whatever reasons, takes us down a truly hellish path that he/we cannot escape.
Along with all the many, many devoted Breaking Bad fans out there, I am anxiously awaiting (& dreading) the final episode this Sunday. What an amazing ride this has been! I think I’m quite certain in saying that there will never be anything like it on TV again. To celebrate the final episode of this amazing series I made this illustration which you can download for free as a Wallpaper for your iPad, iPhone 4 & 5. I may also create a limited run poster or t-shirt of this too, so contact me  if you’re interested in one. Enjoy, and here’s hoping we survive this final episode!
