Colin Batty's Sci-fi Cabinet Cards

Manchester artist Colin Batty has worked in animation for 30 years, including on the Oscar-winning short The Sandman in 1992 and various Tim Burton films. He also sculpted the original Halcyon model kits of the Alien, the Predator, and the Queen Alien. The inspiration for his work comes from vintage sci-fi. “The kids who weren’t good at sports would spend a lot of time on their own,” he says. “So I got into outsider stuff, like Frankenstein and movie monsters.”  His most recent project is a series of cabinet cards – late-19th- and early-20th-century formal portraits he alters to include unexpected monstrous elements.
