Lincoln Costumes

Richard Merritt has been busy working on a commission from Walt Disney Pictures, as costume illustrator for the Steven Spielberg film 'Lincoln', starring Daniel Day Lewis. Richard is the artist of choice for the exceptional costume designer, Joanna Johnston, having previously worked with her on a number of films. His task is to visualise her designs and bring them to life, and we think he does this with great aplomb and style. The drawings have recently been showcased in People magazine in the US, and the film is being tipped for multiple Oscar nominations, so we've got our fingers crossed for costume!
