An original pen and ink drawing by Thomas Hill titled "Breathing Like A Fish", this artwork is 18" x 24" on 140# heavyweight archival Canson paper. The artwork is a highly detailed black and white illustration that features a surreal and complex composition. At the top left, there is a crab on a sand-covered rough edge object. Next to it is a submarine floating through space, hinting at underwater themes merging with cosmic elements. This theme continues with a snail with its shell replaced by an eyeball, and instead of antennae, there are pieces of cutlery - a fork and a spoon - extending outward. The central portion of the artwork includes bubbles and a tentacled figure in a fluid-like environment. The words "LIKE A FISH OUT OF WATER" wind through the center, integrating the text element
