There are two kinds of polyps. One is a type of squishy little sea creature--coral is made by polyps, and a coupla species have polyp forms--which anchors itself to something and then has a head on the other end (for a very low value of "head") with tentacles and sense organs and a mouth. (Think sea anenome.)

The other kind of polyp looks a lot like that, but is a rogue lump of flesh that grows in your colon, up your nose, etc.

Some sort of story is going on there, but as usual, I'm only witness to a brief scene. I couldn't tell you what price the polyp is demanding, or why. I just know that's the title. Nor do I know what the little white creature is--I don't think it's a rogue sperm, much as it may look like one, I think it's more like a relative of the anxiety beast. But even that, I dunno.

At the end of the day, what sort of polyp that squishy thing is really depends on whether this is taking place in some odd little cavernous underground, or inside somebody's intestines. And that, dear viewer, I'm gonna leave up to you, and how weird, after all these paintings, you think I am.

Curse those rogue sperm! Even if they are strangely adorable.

Marylouue just turned me on to your gallery and I couldn't be more enthralled! As I told her, I love the fact that you've included many "dark" things in your paintings, but have somehow managed to make them non-threatening. I think it's a stroke of genius to leave the degree of threat up to the viewer, and that's especially true in this painting.

"The Polyp's Price" could be something as innocuous as a bit of moisture for a sea creature to a dangerous collaboration with an errant cell intent on spreading intestinal cancer.

You've even somehow managed to attribute some personality to these two subjects and along with your obvious technical ability, it's clear you are a very talented artist! :)

It's like a LoTR-esque moment is taking place in someone's intestines right at this very moment.

Yeah, there's a possibility that I may have a polyp in my nose...and now I'm freaking out because...THAT FREAKY LOOKING THING COULD BE UP THERE!!! EWWWWWWWWWW!!!
My boyfriend is telling me that this is just an artists rendition, and it's very nice; it would even be adorable under different circumstances, but now...*shudder*
It's got...legs...and eyes...and it's BENDY....*faints*
Other than that, awesome job.
