I have always wondered how the pirates take a supertanker.
I may have it figured out.

Went for a beautiful swim, made a mental note of the reflections under the water. But there were very few fish, so i made them up while sitting on the beach.

I drew this also on the beach. Within 5 minutes the mirror flat sea had turned into a frothing wasteland. Three swimmers had to be rescued from the buoy where they were holding on for dear life. Rubber ducky sought safety in a tidal pool.

As a child I was facinated with the illustrations of Rackham and Dulac. Often I had never read the stories that they illustrated, so i would try to imagine a plot based on the illustration. This inspired me to draw my own illustrations alluding to a story which didnt actually exist. Funny that i still do this.

The beasts crossed at 6, and then again at 9. They never bothered me any though, it was just enough that you didn't make any eye contact.
