Over the long course of our evolution from inanimate materials, to the beings we now inhabit, we have had many forms. For millions of years we have been slowly changing and shifting as the processes of evolution have bent and shaped life on Earth. Our direct lineage has been made of countless organisms of ever different shapes and forms. As much as your father or grandfather or some ancient homo erectus is your ancestor, so too have been many other beings who also struggled to reproduce and survive, mutating and changing - ultimately, becoming us. Thoughts of this millenia long metamorphosis brought me to this anthropomorphized amphibious creature, feeding off of a red tide in some ancient sea; the Lamp of Osiris guiding it on its brief journey of survival.
This piece was originally a fast acrylic painting I did as practice for a local, live painting event - Friday Night Art Fight.

I painted the original (seen here) in about two hours, and I was so enthralled with the result and the concept that I worked it up digitally into a larger, more refined piece. I currently have two of the stretched canvas in stock, and a handful of framed and unframed prints.
