Digital painting of three Port Jackson sharks amongst kelp. These small sharks have harness like markings and small nubby teeth to crush shells. The one in the foreground is posing next to one of their spiral shaped eggs, mouth open to show the teeth.

Here's my full pieces for Sea Unseen! Had so much fun with these even if the artificial reef scene was some of the most intensive pieces I've done to date! Check out the zine in the quoted post!
Digital stylized piece of an artificial reef scene, specifically depicting animals within New Youk Harbor, USA. The setting is a submerged abandoned New York subway car, yellowed and worn from previous usage and ocean exposure. Many of the fishes' expressions are exaggerated as if there were on a crowded subway car.

Two harbor seals in the top left corner look inside the car from where panels were removed, one licking its lips. 

The upper foreground comprises entirely of bony fish, with the ground consisting of mostly crustaceans (two Atlantic Lobsters, two horseshoe crabs), 5 channeled whelks (two are on the grab pole) and one flounder (non-specific, brown with white spots). Within that entirely bony fish foreground there are two black sea bass towards the top, a cluster of anchovies pushing up against two Atlantic mackerel (one on top is looking at a map, one on the bottom is entirely boxed in), one large tautog (blackfish) in the middle right, and two scup failing to push past the tautog

The middleground towards the back are a variety of crabs (ghost crab with a map, spider crab with a device/phone, and blue crab looking at its calipeds/claws), two Forber's Sea Star (orange and pink), a cluster of oysters, and a colony of star coral.

The sea behind it all is empty, with light shining down from above.Digital stylized piece of a whalefall at the bottom of the ocean. A non-specific whale skeleton sits partially buried in the sand, a single light shining on its phalanges/digits. The scene is dark save for that spotlight. Spiralling downward are many animals feasting on its remains, with 12 non-descript sharks towards the foreground and some closer to the back end of the whale) of the piece, 4 non-descript octopods gathered towards the back end of the whale skeleton, and 5 giant isopods at the tail. Two red dots sit near the isopods for laser measurement.

I drew the Hawaiian pom pom/boxer crab for @seaunseenzine.bsky.social ! It's always so so so fun to get to draw marine life for the zine! This year's edition is on sale now, with a minimum donation of $1 and all proceeds go to the Australian Marine Conservation Society! #pickleart #marinelife
The first row has three boxer crabs and the two on the ends are waving their anemones around like their cheering. The one in the middle gleefully holds up its anemones, which have faces on them.

The crab in the middle row inspects its single anemone and then pulls it apart to fragment it, making two copies of it.

The crabs on the bottom row are fighting. The one on the left is dodging a punch from the one on the right.

In between the rows are anemones with various expressions and patterns that emulate the ones you'd find on Hawaiian kapa cloth.

This year's edition of The Sea Unseen is out now! You can get a copy here and 100% of the $ go to the Australian Marine Conservation Society! In my rage against AI being argued as "democratizing art" I used dollar store crayons on public library printer paper. seaunseenzine.itch.io/sea-unseen-2...
a cropped preview version of my wax crayon mola mola illustration. It is very obviously drawn with cheap art materials but executed well nonetheless because anybody can learn to draw using free YouTube videos and shit they have in their junk drawers if they hold their task endurance and emotional resilience
