A Shaky Situation
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.

Think it would go well on a tshirt too.

Jim — That’s a way cool illustration. A little mass production is in order cause I’d love one in my house.

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.
