It's interesting for me to look at this early feep dragon and compare it to later, more evolved dragons. This one has a lot of the same features as a feep nautilus or feep ghost, suggesting a common ancestor. Could it be true ... ?
This was the first feep shadow box I made, and was inspired by my frequent walks through the woods. The backdrop photo is one I took; the fungi and lichens surrounding the feep were commercially-dried objects I bought in college for a project that never came to fruition. Clearly, my pack-ratism regarding art supplies received a bit of positive reinforcement.
I have been buried under a mountain of deadlines of late, but am hoping to get a chance to work on the first new feeps of 2010 in the next couple of days. Hoo roor!
I'm a cartoonist and a sculptor. The cartoons are generally aimed at adults and tend to be Not For Everyone. The sculpts are my Feeping Creatures monster figurines and art, and are suitable for all ages. I do a lot of scfi-fi/comic conventions and art fairs where I sell the Feeps as part of my ongoing effort to increase the number of monsters in people's homes and offices.
I come up with the captions for these photos first thing in the morning, when I'm still half asleep. If they seem a little surreal sometimes that's probably why. You are more than welcome to comment with your own caption ideas.
