A little bit of whimsy…

I couldn’t help myself on this one… Since the word was “Swamp,” I really wanted to paint a swamp monster. At first I thought of doing a vintage poster with a contemporary twist. But then this crazy idea hit me, and I had to paint it. I know it’s gross, but it makes me smile.

Hahaha, nice one! Definitely reminds me of vintage swamp monster (I think it’s the head fins). That really is a great look on his face. Cute frogs too!

Ha ha! I think the poor swamp monster read the poster a little too late!

I really like the effect of the light coming through the trees.

Haha! That’s brilliant! The poster really made me giggle and I love the expression on the faces of the swamp monster and the frogs next to him. Excellent stuff 🙂
