1xRUN: Tell us a little bit about this piece, anything immediate you would like us to highlight about this image?
Turf One: This is a portrait of Conan, a Presa Canario…this piece combines two themes which have been rather prominent in my work for a while: dogs and knife-wielding Russian gangsters.

1x: When was this piece created and what materials were used?
Turf One: The materials used for the original painting are oil and acrylic on panel.  I painted this piece over the summer and early fall 2017.

1x: What are some strides you feel you’ve made in your work recently?
Turf One: I think being able to use my work to help saving dogs lives has been very gratifying and has given it a whole new meaning for me…
