# Powerful Pooch Photography The Bill Wadman 'More Drabbles' Portfolio has a Dark Undertone By Meghan Young | Published 2010-03-28 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bill-wadman-more-drabbles References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/More-Drabbles/457999) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/billwadman) An artist hard at work will always be worth talking about--just check out the Bill Wadman 'More Drabbles' portfolio. I actually covered his original '[Drabble](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bill-wadman-drabbles)' series earlier this year and he already has more work to feature. Although his work seems to have a natural tendency towards darkness both in technique and subject matter, Bill Wadman's 'More Drabbles' series delves more so into the seedier side of life. Yet he still manages to imbue a [sense of fantasy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anima) and even humor as to counteract total darkness. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Pet Photography:** A trend towards artistic and dramatic pet photography that incorporates elements of darkness and fantasy with a sense of humor. - **Dark-comedy Art:** A trend towards artwork that explores darker themes with a subtle sense of humor and whimsy. - **Seedy Aesthetic:** A trend towards incorporating gritty and raw aesthetics into artistic mediums such as photography. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Pet Industry:** The pet industry has a unique opportunity to capitalize on the trend towards elaborate and artistic pet photography. - **Art Industry:** The art industry can explore the trend towards darker themes with a humorous and whimsical twist to attract a younger and more diverse audience. - **Photography Industry:** The photography industry can explore the trend towards gritty and raw aesthetics, and position themselves as cutting edge and avant-garde. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Striking Urban Wildlife Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-allin.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Otherwordly Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/william-monk.md) - [Limited Humorous Art Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-shrigley-1.md) - [Spooky Charming Pet Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crown-paw.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Playful Modern Art Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brent-estabrook-debuts-storytime.md) - [Skateboard-Themed Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rabbit-hole-1.md)
