Buying my ocean art is an investment in getting to talk to people about cool marine life. You’ll either have people excitedly recognizing the critters or you’ll have them asking what they are giving you totally solicited opportunities to nerd out. 🦑🐙🐡

Don’t want to pay for a book? Ask your local library to get a copy.
Can’t do that? Many indie authors would probably send you a pdf if you were chill and asked them nicely.
I live paycheck to paycheck and I’ve never pirated a book. It’s pretty easy.

I was lucky enough to read an early copy of this lush collection of poems that mixes ancient creatures + sprawling landscapes with everyday modern life, queer love, and generational trauma.
I never thought I’d be so moved by a poem about a toad looking up its own evolution history on wikipedia.
