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.

Here’s how I arrived at this piece.

Bad. Ass. Seriously good to see someone expanding their talent and their art on a continual basis the way you do. Nice work man!
Thank you, sir. I appreciate the shout-outs like I don’t know what.
WOW. Just, wow. Amazing job, Jim. I love how you gave the step-by-step-it’s neat to see the process.

Eek! Great process for a great illustration. Nice!
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.
You’ve gone very deep on this diorama. Be careful you don’t get lost down there, it looks quite scary.
Wow. Awesome diorama!
Great to see a new idea…really well done, I like it.
I have always been a fan- i think I forgot to tell you. cool expansion on what is already there.
Awww, never seen this kind so far. Wish I’d be so lucky to see this.
