Frank Miller

Frank Miller is an artist, writer and director that rose to fame when working on failing comic 'Davedevil'. His unique style made him a rising star and he progressed to become writer and artist for the comic. Though this he created a world famous character 'Electra' and went on to create one of the most famous stories ever, Batman: The Dark Knight Rises. His gritty and mature take on the superhero shook the comic book world and changed the way comics were made, making him a legend.


Frank then independantly created his series 'Sin City', which was then adapted into a movie that he helped to direct (trailer right). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKFLrTYKIXk
He seemed to work predominately in black and white for his work on Sin City to make it seem more grimy and dark which the film adopted too. I like it as when he does use a different colour (mostly red or yellow) it accentuates the emotion he wishes to convey. For example, the use of the colour red could reinforce or symbolise lust, love, blood or anger.
