artist: Doug Melnyk

Doug is a friend and a terrific artist. He recently sent me this image, which is connected to a story of his concerning the sinking of a fictitious cruise ship, a desert island, and two survivors. It all sounds intriguing, and I can't wait to see the final result or results of his efforts.

Doug has recently started a blog: The Worst Thing. Check it out.
