'Money is a sickness; Don't let it Infect you!'

Most of my Infections are created on the spot, with no image in my head, putting ink or paint straight onto paper or canvas.  But sometimes it makes a change to take something that someone else has created and Infect that, putting my own twist on it.
This was the case for my latest piece, 'Money Is A Sickness; Don't Let It Infect You', commissioned by Jon from Blackpool.
 The project came about after a slight misunderstanding with the client and as a result, I was asked to paint a canvas that made a statement about 'how shit money is'!
We'd already discussed a commission based on Street Fighter characters, as Jon is a huge fan of the game, so it made sense to me to Infect Blanka and make use of his green skin!
The canvas is A4 size and done using Posca paint pens.
