Along the fog-choked cliffs of East Anglia, travelers once whispered of a great black dog with eyes like burning coals—the Black Shuck, omen of death and guardian of the lost.
This hand-drawn ink illustration by Alan O.W. Barnes captures the Shuck in motion, a spectral hound half-shadow, half-storm, forever prowling the edge between sea and soul.
Featured in InkSpatter Illustrated: The Creature Codex – The Black Shuck, this piece evokes the ghost stories carried through English coastal folklore, where every thunderclap might be the echo of its footfalls.
Each 11×17 archival print is produced on heavy gloss paper with high-quality inks, preserving every etched line and atmospheric wash from the original artwork.
