How Bob Dylan and David Lynch helped the creators of 'Billions' capture the cutthroat world of high-stakes art collecting

The show's production designer and art director, James Gloster, explained the work that went into capturing that world.Visit Business Insider's homepage for more storiesIn a recent episode of Showtime's hedge-fund drama "Billions," Bobby "Axe" Axelrod and his right-hand man Mike Wagner stand before three mammoth street art-style canvases they have come to preview ahead of an exhibition by a sought-after young artist.

"The showrunners… thought it would be a cool idea if Axe had a lot of work by one artist," Gloster said. It just so happened that the two who fit the bill are also world-renowned creatives. "This year, the goal was really to get into Axe's mind," Gloster said. "His world is more and more chaotic and his outlook is not as healthy as it might be, so we were looking for art that emphasizes that." This season also cast its very own tortured artist: the tattooed, paint-splattered Nico Tanner .

To create Tanner's sought-after style, Gloster spent weekends walking around Brooklyn taking pictures of street art and graffiti — which he believed would have inspired the character — and blending those influences into something new. Then the works were fabricated on set.
