Crabzilla by Astrid - mixed media on burlap

This is an illustration of Astrid’s nephew in Holland taking “Crabzilla” for a walk. The crab used to be in the local zoo, and was a favorite of the boy when he was little. It was so huge he named it “Crabzilla”. At her last visit to her homeland, Astrid found out that Crabzilla was gone and her nephew was rather sad about it, so she created this piece and sent it to him to cheer him up.
