Homarsupial

The Homarsupial is another of the elusive cryptids captured in the Tall Tales suite of one-of-a-kind artist's books that are soon to be launched at Hand Held Gallery. Please note: the illustration is an artist's impression, owing to a complete lack of documented evidence of the Homarsupial's appearance, or indeed, its existence. The miniature silhouette directly below was a study for the book, but is also a finished work in its own right.
