81st Anniversary of the Loch Ness Monster's most famous photograph



Colonel Robert Wilsons grainy photograph of Nessie made a big splash. The iconic image of a sea serpent rising out of the water paved the way for the myth of the Loch Ness Monster.

Sketching boats in dockyards was the inspiration for this illustration. Once I'd assemble working cogs as the Google logo, all that was left was to show a cut away and reveal of what REALLY took place under the surface.

Actually, it all started as a prank by three young men, who later confessed the whole thing was a hoax. But nobody wanted to believe them. As a result, millions of dollars that could've gone elsewhere were wasted looking for something that was never there in the first place.
