Collectible Time: John Febonio's Clash of the Titans/Medusa '81 Print

My readers are well aware that artist John Febonia has a knack for (re)creating famous horror scenes and characters. He now brings us a monster from a different origin: Medusa of Clash of the Titans 1981.

Ray Harryhausen's don't-catch-her-gaze monstrosity is one of the animator's finest renderings, with amazing, nuanced movements, from her snaked crown to her tremendous, ticking tail. 

Febonio does an equally amazing job capturing the gorgon's stealthy fluidity, as she pursues the brave but cautious Perseus inside her frightful lair. Febonio even layers this titan's fiery backdrop in a way that appears culled straight from celluloid, albeit modified by a warm. inimitable texturing. 

My Medusa, matte print measures an impressive 16" x 20", but Febonia offers this image (as with all his prints) in varying formats.

Enticed? Why not visit Febonio's production site? The Medusa print, plus a hefty smattering of other examples of the maestro's work, await one's appreciation:
