I did this illustration towards the end of the summer and never got around to posting it. Inspired by the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles, I wanted to do a piece illustrating the murky decline of a mastodon. It's a bit more graphic than my usual work in the sense that there's no detailed background, instead letting the black literally swallow the image down.
I ended up adapting the drawing into a T-Shirt mockup for one of my favorite metal bands. We never made it to production, but it was a valuable experience communicating back and forth on the design and playing with color for a change.
