electricity
This was the first thing I thought of for the current Illustration Friday theme, "electricity". What I just discovered when researching these animals is that electric eels are actually fish! Who knew?

wonnnderful, illio, steve! LOVE the pen work and the b paper bag...fantastic! :))
Your paper bag works are quickly becoming my favorites! This is a fully charged illo!
i knew, i knew. ;)
btw: do you really use the paper bags, or do you use a special brown paper? i should try it too, as they are all great.
Your work is so original.
Wonderful line work!
Shocking! I like it! :-)
So original!
This is so well-drawn and a great idea too.
It reminded me of my childhood fascination seeing the electric eels at entrance of the local aquarium. It even had a meter to show the voltage if memory serves me correctly.
lol now this reminds me of the time when i was swimming by the beach when i was about 12ish.. i really thought an electric eel just passed between my knees! i screamed!! but geesh.. it was only a seaweed.. ha!
thanks for sharing this wonderful original art..
nicely done!
Fish? I thought they were gross!
I've seen some big eels in the Carib. They never look like happy fellows.
Thanks so much for the kind words guys!
Kerstin, yes, this is on cut up brown grocery bags I've been saving a while now. Lately I've been on a kick I guess. :)
Very cool, love the electrical white edge and the paper bag works great.

They remind me of the shrieking eels in The Princess Bride!
