Inspirations, influences and illustrative facets lifted from a variety of places for a variety of reasons. I've just begun to love The Dillinger Escape Plan, but not until very recently. In high school when I first heard of them, I was still going through my hard rock/screamo phase and didn't really like the extreme discord and dissonant anger Dillinger offered. The music is just brutal, in-your-face, wall-to-wall noise, chaos and unbridled sonic fury at breakneck speed.

So I wrestled for a time with how best to convey that brutality. I was stuck for a time until I remembered their song "Sunshine the Werewolf," re-watched The Devil's Rejects and came to the conclusion that Dillinger were dog (wolf) people (even before seeing their PETA interview). Add a bit of exploratory research on John Dillinger (spearheaded by my excitement for Public Enemies), and the the design just fell together beautifully.

So this is how I realize The Dillinger Escape Plan's entity: a pissed off werewolf in a tattered suit, getting ready to unload a second volley of Tommy gun bullets into the faces of whatever unsuspecting unfortunates crossing his path, parting the fur exploding from his collar to unleash a brutal, violent scream.

I think it's safe to say this is one of my favorite posters so far.
