This is simply genius...FAN-tastic! What you wrote made me laugh...It is very much like what my Husband says...."It's all fun and games until someone gets and eye poked out...Then it's just FUN!"

This got a real reaction out of me. My stomach twisted up into knots. I'm not sure how to compliment it! It's hard for me to look at but it certainly makes me feel something.

Oh, this is wonderful! I love the mantis-female's expression most of all. I used to keep them as pets, and they often have that almost-sentient look about them. Nice work!

thanks for the friend add! im gonna go ahead and assume you doing artwork for my band would be out of my price range? check us out, myspace.com/aarsethmetal

not necessarily, though it isn't cheap...it would cost less, though, to pick from exisiting work than to commission something new, that way you're not paying for new work, just rights of reproduction. As long as the work hasn't already been used for the purpose we can probably work something out.

Hahaha, sweet. The angle that she's cocking her head gives that perfect creepy insect feel ... besides it being an insect head anyway, haha.

having a fly-brain probably means he won't think about how she's actually a mantis until his head is mostly devoured anyway.....

Definitely one of the more unique pieces I've seen in a while ^^ Is the paper torn before or after the drawing is done?

larkin-art In reply to ScorpionDeathlock [2007-07-07 23:45:36 +0000 UTC]

thanks! neither- it's two separate pieces, formed as is. i love the roughness of the shapes and coarseness of the surface of that stuff, i hope she always makes it

I'm liking this one. I like the creature morphism and meaning behind it. If she talks a lot they say she could chew your ears off. Looks like this one really could...chew, not talk. LOL!

Aww, cuddlebugs. This seriously reminds me of Lin from Perdido Street Station by China Mieville. I dunno if you read steampunkish novels, but his imagery is right up your alley. (Disregard if I've recommended him already, I'm a little wonky these days).
