Word Picture: Hostile

Something I did almost a year ago in my freshman year intro drawing class. One of our final assignments was to draw a word out of a hat and make a picture that illustrated it. My word was "hostile". That apple actually spent upwards of two weeks in the studio, getting progressively mooshier and growing a rather lovely coat of fur. Spooky, of course, is the real star.
I could have uploaded it earlier, but my instructor kept it over the summer, and I've only recently taken slides of my work from that and this year's graphic design class so that I can apply to work at artsy-type-camps/summer arts programs. No dice so far. If you know any colleges holding summer classes for high schoolers in need of a t.a. or something, preferably in the general vicinity of Chicagoland, tip-offs would be appreciated.
