Original art, pen and ink drawing

Titled "Expiration Date", this is an 18" x 24" original pen and ink drawing on archival heavyweight paper from Thomas Hill.

The artwork is a detailed, intricate black and white drawing that boasts a surreal and fantastical composition. At the center of the piece, there is a large, menacing creature with a gaping mouth filled with sharp teeth. The texture and shading give depth and a three-dimensional feel to the drawing. The creature seems to be an amalgamation of various objects and organisms, lending to the surrealism.
The creature's body is comprised of a multitude of elements, including what looks like mechanical parts, organic textures that resemble body tissues or plants, and possibly bones or skeletal fragments. Its eyes are mismatched, one looking like a normal eye while another takes on a more mechanical, possibly clockwork appearance.
Surrounding the creature are various objects and symbols floating in what seems to be a chaotic, void-like space. There are clocks, most notably one with a extended mechanical arm, symbolizing maybe the passing or distortion of time. Fragments float or fall across the scene. Human hands stretch out too, possibly signifying a reach for help or connection. Everyday items, such as a ladder, a mushroom, and building structures or towers, populate the lower part of the image.
Objects are reinforcing the melding of organic and artificial in this universe. Smaller, celestial or cellular objects dot the backdrop, further contributing to the piece's dreamlike, otherworldly quality.
The overall tone of the artwork is one of chaos, with elements of danger, the passage of time, and a breakdown between the natural and artificial worlds. The execution is highly detailed, showcasing the artist's skill in fine line work and composition.
