Guillermo del Toro and friends

This is an illustration I made after attending an artist talk at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Guillermo del Toro was speaking about his influences and passions, and during the Q and A at the end of the talk, he answered a question I had submitted regarding who his first imaginary monster friend was as a child. He answered the Frankenstein creation and the Creature form the Black Lagoon. He then added that they were still friends, and that only served to endear him to me further. So, I had to draw this image I had in my head.
