This is an attractive version of the Devil--kind of Pucci and lava-lamp inspired. Love it.

Yes, Pucci! I was thinking of textiles primarily when I was working on this, and knew I had seen similar color schemes and patterns in old fashion magazines but never knew the designer. Thank you for connecting that for me. This one was also directly inspired by Ed Emberley's absolutely superb illustrations for the book "Suppose You Met A Witch," sadly now long out of print.
