Women shun me. My crew fears me. The sea beckons me. The whale torments me. From Hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee. Ye damned whale. Check out more of my art and products at https://spacedoglaika.com/

From hell's heart I stab at thee!

This print shows the incredible moment when the Monster Whale Moby Dick breaks through the water while under attack from Ahab and his crew!

This would be the cutest wall art for an ocean theme nursery. This oil painting of a whale and ship by children's book writer Monica Michelle puts a fun twist turning Moby Dick into a game of tag with gold foil typography. I'm also a sucker for the shiplap (Thank you, Joanna Gaines, for this particular obsession) Today is the anniversary of Moby Dick being published in what can only be described as the worst game of ocean tag ever between a one-legged sailor and a whale.

There was nothing Moby Dick hated more than giving directions to sailors who had gotten themselves lost. And so it was that young Ahab developed a deep, abiding hatred for the stubborn whale. "I'd strike the sun if it insulted me."

".. all that cracks the sinews and cakes the brain; all the subtle demonisms of life and thought; all evil, to crazy Ahab, were visibly personified, and made practically assailable in Moby Dick."

"omg ahab! you can't just ask whales if they're white!"

A quick design.

“Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee… thou damned whale! Thus, I give up the spear!”

Whenever you find yourself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in your soul; before you find yourself methodically knocking people’s hats off in the middle of the street—count it high time you get to sea as soon as you can!

"He piled upon the whale's white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart's shell upon it." - Herman Melville

Ishmael enters the Spouter-Inn, meets the proprietor, and discovers that all the rooms are booked. But, he is offered to share a bed with one patron who has not yet returned that evening, a harpooneer who is off “selling his head”. Ishmael agrees, reluctantly, and settles in for the evening. He eats dinner with a taciturn and silent collection of fellow sailors, and then meets a raucous grew returning from a long whaling voyage. Ishmael decides he really can’t deal with sleeping two to a bed, and tells the landlord he will sleep on a bench in the parlor instead. But, the bench proves too uncomfortable, so he is forced to go up to the harpooneer’s room.

A terrifying tale of the deep!
