Description 'Bait' was a doozy for me, I was stuck on this one for ages. This is what I came up with. I guess the main idea I thought of was 'not everything is as it seems'. I don't think I expressed the word all that clearly, but oh well. 

I like this one, despite all its flaws.

Interesting take on the prompt. The mirror image looks really creepy. The fingers on the hands of the man in front of the mirror seem to be a bit short, but if that was an intentional artistic choice, then ignore me.

Overall great concept!

But which one is a reflection in the mirror? Awesome piece!

Fascinating ink drawing, it reminds me of 19th century book illustration in a way. When my cataracts are fixed I'd like to draw a version of Franz Kafka's "Metamorphosis" (1915). My best, WWL

Yes, to a certain degree, despite the difference in mediums. Hamilton, who lived to be almost 90, only dying in 2011, was more into collage but certainly there is some kinship due to the abstract, diagrammatic approach to some of the figures in his "Ulysses" illustrations.  But I still think the kinship to 19th and early 20th century pen & ink illustrations in magazines and books is the strongest.  Also in the juxtaposing of the self-satisfied bourgeois gent next to the insect mutant head of the creature sitting alongside.

Well, keep up the good work using this curiously anachronistic approach. It meshes very well with mild horror and fantasy subject matter. Although the main draw of my page is rather simplistic fetish pencil drawings, I intend to drop them after my cataracts are addressed, in order to concentrate more on detailed fantasy and architecture, my main interests. My best, WWL
