Thinking of hosting another “bad pictures of sharks” photography contest.
Leave the “good photos of sharks” to organizations like National Geographic, and professional photographers.
I’m here for you, the people.

We had a meeting about upcoming larval fish sampling in the spring last week, so I'm thinking of those fall spawners who show up on the beach early. It's the Cisco! #SundayFishSketch

Anyone have any fish field guide recs?
Been having fun going through my trove of aquarium pics but would be nice to learn more about the fish. These are all pacific reef fish i think, mostly puffer/box fish family

I've started a new daily drawing project, although I'm behind because of my recent travel. I'm calling it 完全変態, holometabolism, or, complete pervert, because of a shirt I got in Japan with that kanji, and which Google translated as 'complete pervert', which actually isn't wrong.

A new month for #完全変態 and I chose barnacles because it's my favorite animal fact that barnacles have the longest penis, relative to body size, in the animal kingdom.

I really love that we're at the cultural point wher the sewage treatment plant gets to make jokes about the media ecosystem.
(Also I kinda love this video - water infrastructure is awesome!)

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

I really wanna start something like this in my area but my neighborhood is called Valley Glen. Guess I’m going to have to start learning about different valleys and glens.

Belated #SundayFishSketch! Quick study of a flying fish in graphite to work out some design/gesture quirks on another WIP. Been noticing how personal studies/work connect back to commercial pieces.
