An ink drawing of a man wearing a monocle and a chef’s jacket looking out of his wooden shack. The shack has a sign ‘The Butcher Shop’. The wooden shutters to the shop are swung open wide revealing a massive hunk of meat on top of a chopping board centred on the serving counter. The man is leaning over it with a keen expression. He has his knife stabbed into the board; he grips it firmly - as if he is ready to pull it out at any moment and slice the meat. Behind him, decorating the back wall of the shack are framed knifes of different shapes and sizes. There are also various jars containing specimens of rare monsters his customers have bought to him in the past. There is a board placed in front of the shop which reads ‘We can’t cut? You don’t pay’. As it suggests, the butcher shop will butcher anything: the weird, the dangerous, or just your chickens for dinner.

I always love drawing narrative driven pieces like this and imagining the world the character lives in 😄
