Since the news of the Colossal Squid came out I've been wanting to do something with it. It was so intriguing. As far as the abominable snow man goes, It was the middle of winter, I left the sprinkler running accidentally and came outside to find the most amazing icicles had formed. After that I was just looking for a job to do with icicles, lol and then I thought about the Abominable Snow Man.What's frustrating about being an artist is having so many great ideas and never having the time to work on them. So I just decided I was just going to make time. My apologies to the people who are waiting for they're jobs.
I once read that "The one unbearable sin is being mundane."
I've always wanted to do plausible paintings that are unbelievable; thinking about what kind of giant sea creatures sailors in ancient times would encounter on the seas. Who knows, anything could be real. As an illustrator who has done thousands of commissions, I sometimes find myself doing work I feel is mundane at times. I just wanted to do something fun with this one though.
