"You cannot draw what you cannot see"

"therefore the imagination is a form of seeing"

One of the true fun things about fantasy drawing is being able to create entirely new creature; here I have combined, a seabird skull, an orang-utan and pure imagination to produce 'the dark beast.'
He is not really a member of the other coastline..but he could be!

I was approached in 2014 to hang an exhibition of my fantasy art at West Cape Howe winery, Mt Barker WA; as I didn't want to part with my original Masters drawings I re drew and rendered four images and added two canvases for some colour. The pencil images have been modified slightly from my originals.
