Kevin Hauff had an interesting commission for the Radio Times where they needed an image for the magazine radio pages to accompany a Radio 4 drama called Psalm - about the playwright Ben Johnson.
Specifically its about how he escaped the hangman's noose by being able to recite Psalm 51 when in the dock. "A few ideas were presented but the slightly caricatured portrait image was chosen." Hauff continues to say, "As an alternative to my usual working method this image was rendered almost entirely in Adobe Photoshop as opposed to Illustrator, just popping into Illustrator to create the rope and gallows, as I wanted a slightly more blended use of muted colour (for me!) for the exaggerated stylised character portrait of Ben Johnson."
