Work no 302. Fishious Loggus Extraordinarious

Fishious Loggus Extraordinarinous
c. 2008 by Dingo

‘
Living up to her name as a canine excavator extraordinaire, the New Dada artiste Dingo has the pleasure of announcing the discovery of that – until now – mythological prehistoric creature of the deep – Fishious Loggus Extraordinarious, or … Log Fish.

Thought by the early Victorians to have scoured the murky depths of an ancient tropical sea bed in the late Tertiary period ( 20 – 50 million years ago), its staple diet was speculated to have been plankton.

But of late, scholars had concluded that along with the Unicorn, the creature Fishious Logguis in fact only inhabited the fictional realm of dragons and sea monsters in seafaring legend.

However this fine Log Fish specimen was sniffed out and unearthed after 7 days and 7 nights of a painstaking archeoLOGical dig and is to be presented for sale dried-out, linseed oil-treated and mounted in a fine carved mahogany antique fish trophy box frame.
