Incels & Other Myths

This poster series was made with and for a long-term playwright collaborative partner to advertise the stage production of her latest work "Incels & Other Myths":

Incels and Other Myths follows a mother and son’s epic journey into the online realms of gender, power, and mythology. Elaine, a teacher of Women in Mythology, grows concerned when son Avery spends much of his time playing the online adventure game, Oracle, involving himself in the notorious, misogynistic “incel” community. Through their descent into fraught online territory, Avery and Elaine discover unexpected and intoxicating new realities that shape how they see their own worlds.

This project involved regular meetings to discuss the direction and symbolism of the designs, as well as a lot of time next to a scanner, behind a variety of calligraphy tools, and inside Photoshop/Audacity to join physical and digital mediums into an intentionally disjointed whole.
