| The Fifth Element (1997) concept art by Patrice Garcia |
Every Friday I try and feature artwork from a classic of science fiction cinema or television. This week's "Flashback Friday" post is on The Fifth Element (1997)
A while back I shared some concept art for The Fifth Element by the late, great Moebius. Little did I realize I was lying. Dusty Rhodes pointed out that a lot of the artwork was done by several other artists. One of those was Patrice Garcia and he shared some more of his film artwork on his site.
Patrice Garcia is a professional concept and storyboard artist who's worked on big budget movies like Underworld (2003) and Arthur and the Invisibles (2006).

"A dozen designers spent over a year experimenting with ideas - we had plenty of time to get to know each other," Patrice Garcia said, "This was my first experience working as a designer, and was even more rewarding considering the training I received in drawing techniques and the freedom we were given to experiment with the graphics. The designers all thought they were working on a film similar to Blade Runner, what a surprise when we saw the final result, a crazy comedy. And a successful one at that!"
