I'm clearly not in time for shark week, but I've finished this huge shark illustration! I didn't expect it to be this big of a project, yet here we are. It was so much fun to draw these sillies & I hope you love them~

A couple of pics of a pair from a blackwater dive in Balayan Bay, Anilao. I think this is a phyllosoma (the larval stage of a lobster) riding a purple-striped jelly which is really too small for it... ID very tentative in both cases though!

f you’ve never heard of the Circular Seabird Economy, it’s the idea that seabirds feed on marine prey, and at their colonial nesting sites, primarily on islands, they deposit significant amounts of those nutrients (mostly in the form of guano) onto land.

The monstrously beautiful #shrimp #Cerataspis #monstrosa. Seen here as its #larval stage, spinning crazy spirals. I’ve let the speed increase up to its real-life speed at the end to give you an impression of how it really swims, and the difficulties in filming it😵💫.

Wishing you a deep-sea Halloween! 🎃
It may be spooky season, but really, the only thing scary about the deep sea is how little we have explored it.
We’ve figured out the tricks on how to get down there, now it’s time to find the treats!
