Artist's Description

View the WIPs of this artwork here

Artwork is inspired by the literature classic Moby Dick by Herman Melville. I wanted Moby Dick to look ancient and almost elemental and so I stylized him into an almost driftwood pattern.

Mixed Media (gouache, oil pastels, colored pencils, sharpie and liquid silver leaf) on 19 × 12 inch grey Canson paper.

Original artwork is for sale. Please email “redeye@designbyredeye.com” with inquiries or visit www.lynnetteshelley.com to view more of my artwork or artwork sales.

Love this Lynnette! – MD is one of my favourite books (I’m on the side of the whale every time!:-) – this is a wonderful depiction…….it couldn’t be anything other than MD himself!

You are un freakin stoppable. I am jealous of your time and prolific production! You go girl! Another great one! I like the seeming departure from older styles,,,,ever so slightly more flowing linear… Love the flipped dinghy! :-)

thanks Jerry. I originally had the whale just white but then I just started to see the lines on him and so put them in. I like how it makes him look like driftwood or even a bit like sailor’s scrimshaw. Anyway, I hope to see more from you soon
