Last year December I travelled to Cambridge alone and saw the Corpus Clock. I researched a little bit about the interesting beast on the clock and found out that it is a time eater (Choronophage in Greek). The loud and echoing 'tik-tok' sound serves to remind people the passing of time.
While being deeply fascinated, I drew this Choronophage while I was waiting for my food in a restaurant.
( I can't take a better picture without the reflections on the glass at that time of the day, so this is the best I can find :) )
