You can feel the malice pouring off this thing. Apparently this charming creature was a vision Blake had, and Blake described a visitation of the spirit..."Here he is - reach me my things - I shall keep my eye on him. There he comes! his ever eager tongue whisking out of his mouth, a cup in his hands to hold blood and covered with a scaly skin of gold and green."
By the way- I recommend checking out the origins of Fantastic art (not to be confused with Fantasy) if you want to understand more about where Pop Surrealism is coming from. I consider Pop Surrealism to be a direct descendant of the Fantastic genre.
