Thanks to online friend and illustrator extraordinaire dro, I learned that one of my photos was used as the inspiration for a piece for an indie comic called Grunts in which WWII soldiers battle the undead.
I took the photo at the Howarth 1940s weekend, one of the re-creationist festivals that seem to be popular here in the UK. It has now found it’s way into a new form thanks to Urban Barbarian in this post.

What a small world! I guess my version is a bit more angry, huh? Such a great photo. Looking at it now, I wished I would of incorporated your attention to detail a bit more in my illustration.

Thanks Dan. I’m glad you like it and that it inspired you.
I love it! Love you too.
