Description
This is an older piece that I'm uploading at a commentor's request. I never realized that I hadn't uploaded it to this gallery!

Concept:
This piece was part of a series of short stories I did some years ago but never published. In essence, there were 'wanted' posters and warning posters about, telling people to be careful of various things. They were harmless seeming posters like 'don't pet the seals', or 'don't feed the ducks', but with each casual warning was a monstrous secret.

Materials:
This was my experiments in spray paint. The background was a piece of grey paper that I sprayed with green silk floral paint to give it a gradation. The boy, boat and monster are all in colored pencils and the water's surface is a mixture of very fine white spraypaint, pencil and a tiny bit of acrylic paint.

Awards:
This piece won best in show at a few conventions. It always surprised me as it's a very subdued piece and there are so many amazing artists out there. Sometimes I wonder why it won the award, so I could see what it was about that piece that captured the judge's attention so well.

Prints:
This had a limited edition print run, unfortunately my records are packed away. I THINK I have perhaps one or two left from the print run, so if you are interested let me know, but I won't be able to check on it until after the move.

Original:
Sold many years ago.

Side note:
I'm trying a new way of laying out my artist's comments. I know it's a lot of information but I would love feedback on what kind of information you would like to see here!
