Artist Chip Trout has a goal. For 91 days he’s going to take a
lithograph from a tattered Currier & Ives book and make
some…adjustments to it. Since everything is better with monsters, Chip
took images that featured lots of action and placed creatures of his own
design into the image, often times changing how it could be
interpreted. Below are 20 of the images that Chip has done so far, but
you can check out others, and follow him all the way up to day 91 at the
site
CreaturesandIves.com . It should be fun to watch.

American Brook Trout
Chip’s trout looks really uncomfortable.
