    Wow, that’s just fantastic! I love a good sea monster story/mythological creature. This looks great, as well as being a brilliant spin on the angler fish!

    Stunning and straight to my faves, John.
    Old sailing ships and monsters…irresistable!
    Superbly detailed work in crayon.
    I’ve tried tea-stainng on my Thomas Hair series watercolour paper.
    Fun and instantly aged.
