Description
Here's a cover to Moby Dick for Jon Foster's cover illustration class at RISD. The idea was that the white area of the composition is the head of Moby Dick, coming down with jaws open, and his eye is on Ahab.Acrylic on gessoed masonite

Well one for giving the piece a murky feel; I can really get a glimpse of Ahab's vigilance, his undying quest. Added to my "Twisted Horisons" collection.

What an AMAZING composition! I love it more than anything! It meshes so well, and it's hidden just enough that people will realize it and feel so wonderful.

Ahh...you take a class with Jon Foster? 
This painting's amazing...almost didn't see the white whale until you pointed it out. Really brilliant. The white lines on the far side of the boat are so subtle...pointy teeth!

"Forge me new weapons that will strike deep and hold fast. But do not douse them in water. They must have a proper baptism. What say ye men? Will you give as much blood as shall be needed to temper the steel?"
Gregory Peck is awesome, and coincidentally he has the same last name as you.
Anyway, looks great. And the whale's head engulfing Ahab, genius.
