Sea Monsters


Yes, he's a Sea Monster. But he's OUR Sea Monster.

After spending the weekend making puppets and supporting the efforts of the younger set (see; "The Canterbury Tales", below) I was not really ready to get serious at the studio. So I pieced together this not-very-scary sea serpent from scraps left over from other projects. I think it looks a little bit like one of those illuminated manuscript illustrations depicting monsters at the very edge of the known world.

Acrylic paint on paper, leather and silk with very tiny sea shells. 16 x 25 cm.
