A grotesque painterly illustration of a bird-headed skeleton pirate with a hook hand and feathered wing, dripping black tar on a rocky beach.

Portrait orientation. A grotesque hybrid skeleton bound together with black tar pitch and seabird feathers, half pirate and half seabird. Exposed bone limbs smeared with sticky pitch, feathers constantly shedding mid-air and reattaching to other bones, clumping unevenly along ribs, spine, and skull. One arm ends in a rusted pirate hook fused into bone, the other forms a ragged wing of broken bones and filthy feathers. Skull tilted avian-like, beak-like bone growths cracked and misshapen, empty eye sockets streaked with slow pitch drips. Feathers stuck at wrong angles, some falling, some half-glued mid-descent, caught in motion. Damp coastal island lighting, muted greys, blacks, salt whites. Eerie, grotesque, darkly humorous.
