Drawings from the film Beginners

Drawings from the film beginners by Mike Mills

I wrote and directed a film called Beginners, and in that film there is a character named Oliver Fields who is portrayed by the actor Ewan McGregor. This fictional character and I have some things in common : We both draw and do graphic design, we both have dogs, both of our fathers came out of the closet very late in life, and we both did record covers for a very real band called « The Sads ». Gathered here are the drawings that appear in the film, along with the many drawings I did to come up with those drawings, and new drawings about all the important things in life ; love, sexual freedom, history, and Neanderthals - Mike Mills
