  • Three monstrous faces with gaping jaws lined with sharp teeth are stacked in this vertical lithograph. The creatures are canary yellow shaded heavily with pale and grass green. The bottom face, which is the largest and closest to us, has beads of sweat running down each side of the furrowed forehead. This creature’s lips are pulled up into a cavernous smile, and liquid drips from the lower lip. A ruffle around the neck could be a collar, and the creature is flanked to each side by scale-patterned forms that could be the body of the creature behind. This middle creature’s pale blue eyes slope down, and the bottom corners of the open mouth pull down, too. This creature has horns and gill-like forms around the mouth. The third creature, at the top and farthest away, leans back with taloned hands reaching to each side. The drooping eyes appear to look up, and wings spread from the creature’s back. The background is sky blue dotted with white.
