Jaws Within Jaws
No, this is not concept art from HR Giger, creator of the xenomorphs(those iconic, phallic-headed terrors from the beloved Alien movie franchise).
This is an actual radiogram of a moray eel, showing the creature’s pharyngeal jaws—a second set of jaws inside the eel’s throat.
The eel uses its pharyngeal jaws for food transport. After the eel gets a hold of prey with its oral jaws, it latches onto the prey again with its pharyngeal jaws. The eel then extends its oral jaws forward, while simultaneously retracting its pharyngeal jaws, dragging the prey down its esophagus.

Today marks my Soberversary; four years of not wanting alcohol. I honestly did not think that I was going to reach 50 and in a couple weeks I’ll turn 52. That, for me, is the sort of miracle that AA talked about, especially during those horrible first months when getting through a whole day without a drink felt like an impossible hurdle.
For anyone out there battling their own demons: the struggle for sobriety is worth it. I thought that, perhaps, I might be able to stop drinking for a while, just long enough so friends would stop bothering me, but I never thought that I’d lose my thirst. I was sure that I’d always have the craving. I am grateful to say that I was wrong about all of that. In this case it was good to be wrong.
We might all hit rock bottom on our own but none of us have to be alone in battling this disease. There is a redemption story for all of us, if we want it.

What do you mean *they* cut the power? How could they cut the power, man? They’re animals! ~ Hudson, Aliens(1986)
Notes on Syssk:
Several years ago I started working on a Xenomorph tarot deck. I had been fascinated by the titular monsters in the Alien movie franchise and wanted to see them do something other than screech and drool (so much xeno drool!) and I might have completed it, too, except that in one of their many purchases Disney bought the rights to the Alien movies and I knew right then my deck would never see the light of day. If the powers that be at Disney are willing to sue a grieving father to prevent him from putting a Spiderman figure on his son’s headstone then I have no doubt that they’ll sue anyone, including tarot deck designers.
However, it is only copyright infringement if the property in question is recognizable as the work of someone else; thus, Syssk decided to make an appearance. Her name came about as the only word that she can pronounce. Over the years Syssk has attempted to integrate herself into human society … with limited success. She’s learned etiquette. She taught herself how to apply makeup. She valiantly attempts to enjoy poetry. All of these things fail to take away from the fact that people still see her as monstrous. As the Joker so aptly put it in the Dark Knight(2008), “To them, you’re just a freak … they need you right now, but when they don’t they’ll cast you out, like a leper” … or an alien killing machine from the stars.
—-The Magician, from the Xenomorph Tarot.

I revamped an old piece i did in ‘14, Alien is one of my favourite movies so I figured it would be worth it to completely redo the old one! This also happens to be my first finished work of 2018, and my first drawing on my new Surface Pro in Clip Studio.
