'THE HELL HOUND' (LATEST PRIVATE COMMISSION)

FIRST ROUGH DRAFT PLANS FOR A COMMISSION I'M CURRENTLY WORKING ON FOR SOME FRIENDS. THEY HAVE 3 CUTE LITTLE DOGS THAT THEY WANTED PAINTING AND THE BRIEF WAS TOTALLY OPEN... BUT THEY ARE PUNK AF SO I KNEW THEY'D BE UP FOR SOMETHING COOL! HENCE THE '3-HEADED HELL HOUND' CONCEPT. THE IDEA IS FOR THE FINAL PIECE TO RESEMBLE AN AUTHENTIC FORGOTTEN, VINTAGE HORROR POSTER. I LOVE GETTING BRIEFS LIKE THIS, WHICH BASICALLY INCORPORATES LOTS OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS (HORROR, MONSTERS, KITSCH, DOGS, VINTAGE POSTERS ETC), SO REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING STARTED ON IT THIS WEEK. I'LL POST THE FINAL PIECE WHEN IT'S DONE.
