Gosh, did I sweat blood on that one... I thought I'd never finish it, but here it is. :)
It does look a little bit creepy (sorry, can't be helped, everything I draw lately turns out creepy D: ), but it actually is a sort of "metaphore" on adolescence, and how it's a strange period in life where you're definitely not at your best (acne, strange bumps of flesh coming out in unexpected places... you get my drift!!)... but after a somewhat painful metamorphosis, the ugly grub turns out into a pretty butterfly...
(Ok, no more mushy lyrical talking from me I promise! ;p )

I hope you'll like it!


Giclee prints on 12x16" archival paper will be available shortly (95€/$135, limited edition of 10). If you would like to order one, please drop me a note!

Awesome. I'm just curious how you utilize so many different media in this piece?

The love and commitment put into this is evident, but invisible at the same time. there is so much detail, but the piece is so good that you make it look effortless! it seems as though you made the cocoon a dress of sorts. That's brilliant :D
