Marley Alburez, Portrait Of Lougash At Writing Desk, 2022
Lougash T. Shaw was born in a jungle during a mighty storm. Baby Lougash and his parents were immediately swept away by the storm’s strong winds and rushing water, but luckily, giant owls came to their rescue.
The owls flew Lougash and his parents to a castle where they were taken in by a gardener and a teacher. He had a happy childhood, and during his youth at the castle, Lougash made fantastic grades as well as learned to fence, cook chili, and walk on his hands.
Today, he is an adventurer and world traveler. He is also fluent in the languages of whales, crickets, and mushrooms. The forest is his home, and he lives there with his pet werewolf named Wilbur. Lougash happily writes adventure stories while sitting at his unique stone desk among the books of his home library.
