They always dealt with something strange like melting skin caused by some form of radioactive substance, or monsters, or things coming back from the dead. This is inspired by that. This is going to be my DBH Halloweek2 entry. I'm giving two size options, regular and oversized and I want it to be printed with discharge and water-based inks to give it that smooth vintage feel Vote For It!!! www.designbyhumans.com/vote/detail/28832 p.s.
