🐠 The cruise of the Tomas Barrera New York, G.P. Putnam’s sons, 1916. Original source Image description: Illustration of a rock beauty angelfish (Holacanthus tricolor) displayed upside down. The fish has a bright yellow head and fins, with a large, distinctive dark black patch covering most of its body and extending to the dorsal fin, which is tipped with yellow and red. The detailed scales are visible, and the fish’s eye is prominent near the yellow face. Its angular fins and tail show vibrant orange and red accents. Text beside the image notes it as a reef fish from the Colorado region, courtesy of the U.S. Fish Commission, from the 1916 publication “The Cruise of the Tomas Barrera.”

Most of my marine bio art can be bought as prints from my store here!

I have had a series of emergencies in the last few months, and any amount really helps. I also take commissions on ko-fi
