A Shaky Situation

Larry is on shaky ground
I drew this a year ago.  By coincidence, I  just finished it last night. This is 24″ by 8″ and when I originally posted it, I colored it in Photoshop.

I’m happy to say that I think  the original  looks BETTER than the digital version – I ended up cutting the giant jellyfish out with an exact-o and mounting it mat board. This now lives with my friends Julie and Dave.

See below.

    Excellent work. I liked that on my screen, I had to scroll down to really get the whole effect, which made it exciting. I wasn’t sure what I was looking at at first. :-)

    Congrats on being the top choice for IF.
