Bennett Slater has created a stunning piece of art that is inspired by John Carpenter’s The Thing. The 20×20 oil on wood piece is titled “I Know I’m Human” and features a skull made of flesh hovering over the infamous ice crater. The flesh skull is actually bits and pieces of the various creatures that appear in the film, according to Slater.
For my piece, I tackled John Carpenter’s “The Thing”. The references in this one were a real treat to do. By the nature of the story, the creature’s form is constantly evolving and absorbing the organisms it has mimicked. I therefore tried to include as many as I could, while still maintaining the bigger picture, so to speak.
See the full piece below and if you happen to have $800 laying around, you can snag the print here.
