From The Black Lagoon!!!
The Creature(9x12,oils SOLD)
I did this one, more or less as a request from a good friend that lost out to another Creature I did back in the Fall. I'd told him I'd do a new one bigger for him, so before I even posted it, it was sold. It's also just by coincidence that I finished it on the day that Stan Winston left us. One of his big inspirations was The Creature from The Black Lagoon. Okay, hands up-who WASN'T amazed by this series of film? Anyone? Anyone? I thought so. My intention is to do more Universal monsters. Hey, it isn't just Godzilla you see.....

Nice work Bob. It's always good to stretch a little bit. And if you go into withdrawal, You can always paint a destoyed Tokyo in the background.
Thanks Kenny!! It's always good to hear from you. We should talk more!
I'm working with Big Bad John D on something that's a spec thing for both of us but we gotta get something cool going in our lives that's "ours" rather than be hired guns all the time.
Hey, I LOVE The Creature. As much as Godzilla. Almost.
I really love this. Monster portraits have a tremendous appeal for me and when they're this good it's even better.
Thanks Eric! Means alot. I used to do portraits 30 years ago and this became monster pictures later. The Universal monsters are the coolest anyway..so look for more!
