Serpent

Design inspired by;
“It wasn’t until the 19th century that sea monster sightings became a seasonal event. Throughout the summer of 1817, a sea serpent was sighted in Gloucester Harbor by hundreds of people, including the crews of four whaling boats. The Linnaean Society of New England traveled to Gloucester to collect evidence, distributing questionnaires to witnesses. They found a small serpent with bumpy skin, which they concluded was one of the sea serpent’s baby. After dissecting the serpent, the Linnaeans published a pamphlet announcing the discovery of an entirely new genus, the Scoliophis Atlanticus. It turned out to be a ‘ Colubar constrictor with tumors -- a cancerous black snake.”

The general idea was to start creating visuals around the story as well as the testimony of whaler crew.
