Seaman


Is life really "better down where its wetter"? I have no idea. Not being raised by the ocean and visiting it infrequently, I'm not as familiar with it as your average costal dweller. Fear...there's a lot of fear there for me. I'm terrified of sharks and other fishes. When I'm in the ocean my imagination pretty much becomes an endless whispering Lovecraft novel. Letting me know that there are far worse things in the water than sharks and they'll probably get you when you least expect it. The great thing about fear is it goes great with art. I'm all for drawing diarrhea-inducing sea creatures from the comfort of my wobbly drawing table. The above sketch is the beginnings of some concept work I'm doing for Studio Rever's next film, Couchgarden. More than that, I cannot say....
