SciFi and Fantasy Art: The Seeing Eye Slug

While the seeing-eye slug is good natured, never bites, and never gets overly excited, occasional problems do arise. But provided that the person being assisted doesn't mind spending a lot of time in bars (as a result of the slug's tendency to be attracted to open containers of beer) and doesn't live in a climate where they salt the roads in winter, and above all, carries a couple of spare slugs with them in case the slug stops abruptly, it works out well enough. Acrylic, 9 x 12. I was musing about depth of field, and reading commentary by James Christiansen about his art taking place in these tiny, unreal spaces, like shadowboxes or theatre sets, and that made me want to try setting a few pieces in a similiarly small, shallow space. This was the first stab at it, featuring one of the little mouse-tailed gnomey guys from 'Catching Kite-Moths' and I was pleased (and c'mon, who doesn't love a seeing-eye slug?) Original for sale, prints available, visit website for details.
