About
A hooded figure walking a dog drawn in the style of Keith Haring's barking dog from the early-1980s subway drawings. The wall version was outside The Grange pub in Bermondsey (later boarded up, then put behind Perspex). POW released it in a long run of colorways; royalties from part of the edition went to the Russian collective Voina after two members were jailed over a protest in St Petersburg. Published tallies of the colorways vary; we treat the Pest Control certificate as the definitive statement of which colorway and edition size applies to any given sheet.
