World Ocean Day snuck by me again this year. I’m two days late, but still thought I should post my most ocean illustration. Intertidal Life of the North Atlantic, from 2019.

I feel super lucky to live in a state that recognizes how important our coastal waters are. Just look at some of the crazy creatures that call it home. All beautiful, some delicious. Let’s help protect the oceans and its inhabitants. THE POSTER 18 X 24" or 24 X 36"

Bow before Z. rex! 🦐 Better known as the emperor shrimp (Zenopontonia rex), this tiny crustacean can be found throughout tropical waters in the Indo-Pacific. Notice its colorful “throne?” This species is a hitchhiker that can most often be found riding on the backs of marine organisms like sea cucumbers and nudibranchs! Thanks to this living arrangement, the shrimp is able to move from location to location with ease and can more effectively avoid predators. What’s in it for the nudibranchs and sea cucumbers? Scientists think the emperor shrimp might “clean” its hosts by removing harmful parasites, but this has yet to be determined.

Kisay Dhangal, 2016

Sculpture, bronze with mother-of-pearl inlay

194 × 202 × 102 cm, 280 kg

Australian National Maritime Museum 00054952

"Inscribed with traditional motifs and pearl shell, Kisay Dhangal reflects the life cycle and feeding patterns of the dhangal (dugong) in the Torres Strait Islands. The dhangal is captured in the position known as San Tidayk, in Kala Lagaw Ya language which marks the moment the mammal flips its tail to dive down and graze on the sea grass beds. A marine dust trail between the tail and figure of the moon emphasize how lunar cycles determine dugong feeding and mating habits."
