I sculpt them in clay and mixed media if you would like to look at my work. The images you posted are very good. I’m a big fan of snake sculptures myself.

I enjoy your pages My lines were just moans from the otherworld My friend painted a little monster soon after starting painting in oils. It has oil snaking out everywhere and a red eye peeping through. Since then the paintings are like Encounters with a monster - they often look left and turn right and the snake will be there to keep you there and if you'r not careful it will swallow you whole. On the other hand So it was in my mind, along with a small painting I had done, which somehow transformed from an apple to early australian women in the bush - and a bogong moth had also something to do with it. - just before exhibiting in a local gallery became terrifying for me and a profile of a monster in front of the curtain came to me..then another in mirror image and more or less symmetrical . I found in a book which just happened to match the profile - an Egyptian funeral procession of bare breasted women was a line drawing and the arms were raised and flailing, and the jutting elbows of the two women at either end just happened to be symmetrical...
