For a long time during this project i was hoping to to laser cut a series of skate boards, with a surface pattern made up of differant sets of characters and the related objects for each character family.
the first set i craeted was the "hired goons". i love the idea of the goons, a joking representation of the lower levels of the underworld. I had just watched the movie "Bronson" at the time i came up with the idea, and working in the pub trade ive come across plenty of people who think they are gangsters, but could only really be described as 'goons'. So i had plenty of raw matrial in my head to create the hired goons.
