hahaaa! that’s terrifying 😉 the tiny multi-toothed mouth in comparison to the massive unblinking eye…. ERK! love it 🙂
Hello Fig,
I am glad that you caught this post. I can see how the Boarfish might just be a bit of fun for you. You know I am a fan of your collages and the Boarfish might be right at home in one.
Hi Ho,
Elephant
Yikes, pretty creepy. I’ve just imagined I’d hang your fish in a beautiful silver frame with a black mat in my kitchen. I’m not sure if anyone would be interested in something there to eat? (;-)))
What a good idea – diet art! I think the boarfish would also make a good image for a “keep out” sign – especially if you wanted people to stay out of your pond or pool!
Hi Ho,
Elephant
Ok, let’s make big money with it. 😉
One darn ugly lil critter, Andy
Well, I won’t tell the boarfish you think it is ugly, but it must know . . . with those crazy teeth and all – someone must have said something before this!

“Mary’s Little Lamb”? How? Why?
That eye is really mesmerising!
Mary’s is a book with a collection of stories and rhymes – the publisher playing on her famous name! You have drawn a few mesmerizing eyes yourself!
Hi Ho I am home,
Elephant
Scary!
The boarfish – think of it next time you go for a swim!

It’s enough to stop me going in to the water at all!
