Description
ink, coloured pencils and graphite on 67 lb cover stock2017
Another reimagined mad god from the Maya/Aztec pantheon, the Crocodile Cephalopod God: Cipactli. I imagine this subaqueous beast as a custodian of the mythical Mesoamerican city of Aztlan.
Deep dives the hunger of Cipactli.

The Old Gods never retire. They hibernate, and wait for their spring to release them once again
