Old Monster Art

I was going through an old portfolio and doing some scanning so I figured I’d post this. It’s some kind of diseased, arachnoid, creature from the black lagoon, thing. From 1987 or 1988 I think. At the time, I remember being fascinated with this book Mythopoeikon by artist Patrick Woodroffe and his technique of marbling the backgrounds of his paintings. I attempted marbling several times with little success. On this one, I think I actually wiped the failed-marbled surface down. Still kinda like how it turned out though…
