A cartoony guide to the Marine Fish and Invertebrates of Los Angeles!

I am continuing the series of LA Native Wildlife! As with my native reptiles and amphibians poster, I cross referenced iNaturalist with the species listed on Cabrillo Marine Aquarium's website to get as accurate a list of species as I could of marine critters you can find off the coast of Los Angeles. These are not meant to be completely scientifically accurate, but hopefully its enough information for you to recognize the species when you see them in the wild (or at least, get in the right ballpark)! I will be selling this as an 11x17in poster at upcoming conventions this year, along with the reptile one, so keep your eyes peeled for that announcement! PS. You may notice the lack of marine mammals in this poster... because I'm also planning on making a dedicated mammals poster and they will be included there! Stay tuned :)

A cartoony guide to reptiles and amphibians of Los Angeles County!

This was a labor of love honestly, I spent SO much time on it. Using iNaturalist and Californiaherps.com I made myself a list of what the most common reptiles you could encounter in LA County. CAHerps was especially helpful by providing regional maps and listing physical characteristics that differ from region to region.

I did my best to cross reference what a given species might look like in LA County as opposed to other areas of CA they might naturally occur in. I'm not trained in either herpetology or scientific illustration so obviously it's going to be a little bit off the mark, but I did my dang best. Plus, I hope by giving the drawings a bit of personality it'll help you remember what you might be looking at in the wild if you so encounter one of these wonderful beasties!

I am going to be selling these at prints at local LA conventions, we'll see if theres enough interest to merit selling them online but for now, I'm really happy with the result!

#daytime rebergle #putting this back on y'all's timelines because I have a sequel to this planned #perhaps of the marine variety #keep your peepers peeled
