So, I get to be efficient here. Not only is mermaid our current topic for Barefoot Kraken, but it also fits in nicely with this week’s Illustration Friday topic, “Tales and Legends”.
Caleb’s entry › (possibly coming at some point)
This is just a random idea for a picture I had a little while back. We’ll see if I ever get around to doing the final version…
This is what I did for Rosemary’s Christmas present. It’s chalk pencil on colored paper, and attempts to prove that not everything I create has to be strangely creepy in one form or another. No, in fact some things can contain a dead abalone instead.
This was actually inspired by a strange goo formation in my lava lamp while it was heating up this morning.
It’s time for another edition of Barefoot Kraken, now with 50% more artist!
After a bit of time off, we return with the topic of silverfish (from Jessica). Caleb will be joining us for this one, and if he turns out to be a consistent contributor, we may have to come up with a new name… Barefoot Kraken of Westerness comes to mind. Though if anyone has any other less complicated ideas, let us know.
Anyway, above you may see the Lepisma saccharina performing that most important of animal rites, growing to gigantic proportions and climbing a prominent landmark.

For those of you who didn’t see it, this is what I did for Grandma’s Christmas present.
