Mollusc Venus -- final version

This would appear to be the final version of the Mollusc Venus image (see a few posts below), professionally scanned courtesy of Catskill Art Supplies in Kingston, NY.

As you may recall, this was for a t-shirt design. That seems to be happening. When it's available, I'll put the link & details here.

Mollus Venus v.4

Possibly the final version — I traced the drawing & recreated it in 2 sections (head & body) in ink on tracing paper. I also drew the letters & scanned them in, & reassembled them in Photoshop. This method leaves things open for editing, etc.



Finally, I replaced the newer version of the shell/head with the one from the previous drawing:

This piece was conceived as a design for a t-shirt...the owner of the company got in touch via Flickr & asked if I'd like to draw something for a shirt...the work they produce is quite dark & surrealistic, so I came up with this image, which has gone through several versions & is now possibly in its final state...

Same as above, but with digital text (Copperplate Gothic light) added.
