Shadows of Pine Island

On Pine Island, which is in the dead sea, everything falls under the shadow of Death Cat. At night, other things come out of the shadows.

This shadow box diorama is based on the drawing “Death Cat on Pine Island” which I did a few years ago as part of my sketch blog. This story takes place in a can of Lapsang Souchong, which is no longer available in tins of loose tea leaves. I’m crushed – it’s one of my favorite things.

    I think I’ve had that nightmare! ;-) Fantastic idea and execution, Jim.

    The only thing that could possibly be cooler than this would be a life-size version that you could walk into.
