Chris Badger & Will Edwards

A couple of months ago, I was contacted to produce a portrait of advertising wonder duo Will Edwards and Christ Badger. The idea was to include the illustration as part of a press release announcing their departure from a well-known ad agency to another. And even though this turned out to be a fun gig, I’m still not sure how to feel about the fact that I was specifically contacted due to my proclivity to include unapologetic references in my work to pyromania, poorly handled explosive devices, heroin-addicted monkeys, gore, mental hospices, getaways-gone-wrong and both mental and physical self-inflicted wounds …Oh well, screw it! That was one hell of a compliment. Just throw me those fish heads and I’ll stamp a grin in my pretty face all over again because it seriously makes you wish the rest of your clients were as fond of fortuitous violence as yourself.
