Recently I completed a 36 by 36 inch painting for above our mantle. This painting is based upon a study from a previous post. The large painting for my brother’s home (mentioned in the previous post) has been completed and delivered to NH but I have yet to see it. Once I make my way north I will surely take some pics and post them here.

These bears seem to be the poster animals for a warming climate. These big critters can swim 200 miles in a day if they’ve strayed too far from the mainland. Graceful and resilient, they are the biggest of what scientists call a determinate species, that is, other life forms that could determine our future. Generally frogs, birds and plants are in this catagory.

One of my favorite themes of The Creature from the Black Lagoon is how the gill-man evolved through time in a lost corner of the Amazon. This savage fellow of the Devonian Age is also utterly girl-crazy and spends much of the film chasing after Julia Adams. So it only made sense to me that given a little time, the Creature would evolve to reach outer-space and continue his lustful pursuits to the far reaches of the galaxy. As a result I created the illustration above and mocked it up to appear as if it were an old sci-fi book cover. I think Michael Chabon should write this book and a subsequent screenplan which could be the sequel to the remake which may or may not come out in 2008.
