Having spent a number of years in Japan in a previous life as a teacher, its influence tends to find its way into his work quite frequently. With a great love of all things science, tech, and sci-fi, his creative imagination seems to be firmly captured with ideas about the future. The grit and grime of the cyberpunk genre has been a much returned to theme in his illustrations. He grew up loving the lived-in worlds of Blade Runner, Alien, Star Wars, and all of the films that utilized the “used future” aesthetic, where every object has a history. Laurie’s work tends to be layered with details that when examined, can tell more of a story and even recontextualize what you saw before. He wants the viewer to see new things when they return to the image a second, third, or fourth time. Clear inspirations that can be seen are those of Geoff Darrow, Jean Giraud Moebius and Katsuhiro Otomo. Previous clients include: Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks, Marvel, DC Comics, Paramount, Universal, Legendary, Warner Bros, Columbia Pictures, Lucasfilm, Fox, Blizzard entertainment, EA games, Ubisoft, Empire magazine, SciFi Now, Metallica, Shep Films.
