Artist's Comments

Loch Ness Monster Skull I designed, sculpted in clay, and cast in fiberglass. The skull was used as a promotional prop on the 2005/2006 book tour for Steve Alten's novel 'The Loch' (Tsunami Books, 2005). The skull measures over 6 feet in length, and 3 feet wide. The jaw is hinged and moveable, with hundreds of teeth meauring over 3 inches long. It was based on the anatomical skull structure of several species of eel, fitting with the fictional story of Nessie being a mutated giant species of eel.

At first when I saw this, I was like, "AAAGH IT'S HER REAL SKUUUULL. Dx" And then I saw clay, and I was like, "Oh. ^^;" Um, that loosely translates tooo.... Good job. xD

I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business. -- Andy Rooney

DANG. That's a lot of work, that there! I really like it. And those teeth--ack. I'm imagining myself being shredded by those things and it's very frightening indeed. (Even though Nessie probably only eats loch fish.)

Art is desperate.

If the amount of thought put into the book is at any level like the amount of thought put into the sculpture, I may have something I wanna read...

Godzillaish is a term refering to a redesign that is completly different than the orginal, yet simalar enough to be instantly recognizable.

Godzilla is the American version, Gojira is Toho's. Simple as that.

Man great work. I love Steve Alton's work and have his whole "Meg" series as well as Loch. In fact I got a professor of mine hooked on the series and he happens to be named Dr. Loch and he is from Scotland.
