Arachnopus
Sometimes… when I don’t know what to draw, I scribble with a brush or pen until I see something. What I saw this time was dark.
Makes sense.
I’ve had dark, transformative times lately. When this happens, I literally draw out my demons. This one became a spider with tentacles instead of legs.
The demon I call Arachnopus. (Hey, it was that or Octonid.)
I’ll muse more about the meaning of the Arachnopus to subscribers of The O, but it casts its web in my heart and needed to be exorcised from my spirit.
It spawns from anger held underneath. Fear the Arachnopus for it strikes without warning or mercy. It will not let you go until you bleed the tears of self-truth.
Only true reflection will release you from it’s grasp.
Drawn on Procreate with iPad and Apple Pencil by John Glock - March 2026.
