Description: Minimalist line art homage to F. W. Murnau’s 1922 German Expressionist silent film masterpiece, Nosferatu. Features a subtle claw detail with red vintage typography and FW Murnau signature. Perfect subtle merch for lovers of classic horror cinema, silent films, and Dark Academia aesthetic.

Description: My favorite scene in Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens is the creepy shadow on the wall as Count Orlok ascends the staircase toward his final victim; it is one of the most iconic images in film and perfectly captures the ambiance of classic horror. In tribute to the simplicity of this still, I kept the artwork as minimal as possible. To contrast the near-black brushwork of the silhouette, I created a graphic background with my signature gradient banding in greyscale. Then I fit everything into an oval with a grainy vignette to sort of fuse vintage and modern into one look and tie it all together.
