Artist Statement:
I was approached by Facecutter (a vegan hardcore band) to design their first T-shirt and was given free reign. For this piece, I wanted to focus on the vegan message of the band and also put a feminine twist which is why I drew a female ALF (Animal Liberation Front) member burning down a farm. There was not much thought process behind the idea of the image only that I wanted to capture the look of early ALF zine and promotional imagery. The whole walking away from a burning building was probably influenced from my love of action films and wanted the ALF member looking bad ass just like the hero does in said action movies. This work did go through a few stages, The figure, chain link fence and farm shed were drawn together. This was then scanned and printed, then the KEEP OUT  sign was drawn in over the top. This was then scanned again and the final shadows were added onto the second print version to finalise the piece.
