That must have been a very vivid dream. Is it a multple-eyed tiger missle? That is what it looks like to me.

This is a stunning print. It's a nice touch using the grey paper and white gouache.

For me it was some transsexual psycho on Starsky and Hutch that did it.

Let the psychotherapy commence!

Definately fierce!! This is brilliant. I have done artwork based on my childhood nightmares in the past as well. Mine was always not closing the back door in time to stop the monsters getting in!

Yes, I can see why that would stick with you! Clearly you were a visionary at an early age. Gorgeous linocut.

Very nice illustration. The colors really set the mood well. I wouldn't sleep for days if I had a dream about this creature.
