HORROR THEATRE EDITORIAL ILLUSTRATION

AS WE HEAD INTO OCTOBER I AM GETTING SUPER EXCITED FOR HALLOWEEN! HENCE I HAD LOTS OF FUN WORKING ON THIS LATEST EDITORIAL PIECE FOR THE SKINNY MAG NORTH WEST TO COMPANY AN ARTICLE ON THE WELCOME RETURN OF HORROR THEATRE. THE IMAGE IS BASED ON THE IDEA OF FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER AS HAMLET (FRANKLET?). I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR AND I'M HOPING TO GET SOME MORE HORROR-THEMED PROJECTS ON THE GO THIS MONTH <3

'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.
