Creature From the Black Lagoon by Tony Moore

Wow! What a stunning illustration of the Creature from the Black Lagoon! Rendered in pen and ink by the amazing Tony Moore, this drawing captures a very human-like expression of wonder in the face of the Creature. It conveys a sense that perhaps he envies the humans who can live outside the water, that he feels trapped by his inability to leave the waters that nourish him. Moore shows the Creature reaching out, perhaps hoping to touch those who can breathe the air and run in the fields. And it conveys a sense of futility that he will never escape his watery prison. Wonderful drawing, great pick-up!
