Artist's Comments

The spider abstractions are so abound in this particular peice as to seriously call into question my capacity for an original thought.

Usually, when I'm stuck creatively, I go to the least likely corners of nature for inspiration. Monsters? Hmm... I'll look at some flowers. Angels? I think I'll look up "deep sea monstrosities." Samurai? I'll Google platypus.

That way, I don't quite as often end up with a concept that's been done to death. Even if I am wantonly plagarizing Mother Natures acid-trip inventions.

That's today's lesson to aspiring creatives out there.

On this particular peice, even though they're not so far from typical vampire lore, spiders took over my brainmeats.

Turned out alright though, no?

Turned out frickin' awesome, man. Vampires tend to get associated with bats and wolves, but spiders? That's even creepier, 'cause I can see how a spider-vampire would bite you, coccoon you and save you for leftovers later. But what to call them? Vamspider? Spampire? wait, no... they'd just email me useless crap.

Eh, whatever you call her, she'll look pretty damned hot while she's draining you dry. ;)

This is great. I think the spidery inspiration is sublimed enough into an original image that it's not painfully obvious, just evocative.

Astonishing. Actually, beyond astonishing. This is my desktop WP now. You'll never cease to be an incredible source of inspiration, will you?
