The 91st Beast.


The magazine "First City" in Delhi interviewed me and requested a piece of artwork to run with the piece. Since Beasts! was a topic of discussion I decided to make a new beast illustration with ties to India.

Originating in austere environments of India, the Yakku are the demons which bring disease to human beings. The form they take and the type of plague they bring vary from one to the next but all answer to the great sickness demon Maha-Kola-Sanni-Yaksaya.

From S.britt: "I thought I'd share with you this snappy lil' picture of my future father-in-law, Susumu. He was totally engrossed in the book, spending about an hour going through it and reading each and every page."

Nice.
