Ten years before Come To
Daddy, Cunningham, age 16, designed monsters for Clive Barker's
_Nightbreed_. He
also
worked with David Fincher on _Alien3_, illustrated at British
comic _2000
AD_ (apparently under the name Chris Halls), sculpted Sylvester
Stallone's
Judge Dredd costume in 1995, and worked for 1.5 years with the
late Stanley
Kubrick on his on-off
sci-fi
project A.I.
In NME, Cunningham
remarks,
"The weird thing was, I realized I was working with Stanley
Kubrick and
not enjoying it. What I was into was music, and at the
time it was
really electronic music so I did a music video for Autechre
and realized
that's what I wanted to do." Cunningham often
cites
George
Lucas's
Star
Wars as influential. "Star Wars is such a fucking
fundamental
influence in my work," he says in RES. "It's all white
costumes against
black walls - everything's very classy." As for his
current status
as creative mastermind: "These days I feel like I have
come full
circle. I do exactly what I want, like when I was a kid
and could
sit in my room and draw all day." (London
Times)
