I have a soft spot for these hard shelled creatures. When I was young we used to spend the summer on Cape Cod; the beaches there were always crawling with them. They live in the ocean but visit the beach to mate and lay their eggs. They are so interesting!
They predate the dinosaurs and man. They have ten eyes! Their blood is blue and is copper based. How appropriate that they are one of my subjects!

I find it fascinating how these creatures existed before both humans and dinosaurs.

    I was an animator for 20 years. I now distill the essence of movement into a single frame in copper.
