Here's my art for the 2026 edition of the @seaunseenzine! 💙🦑 I chose to illustrate a meeting between a flamboyant cuttlefish (Ascarosepion pfefferi) and a striped pyjama squid (Sepioloidea lineolata), as both species are found in the Indo-Pacific waters near Australia. I was also inspired by photos I saw of these lil guys sitting atop of coins, which really shows off how small they are~ (Adults of both species can get to about 3 inches long, but the babies are much much smaller!) I'm really glad I finally got to draw these lil bebes! If you want to check out more gorgeous ocean art and support a good cause, the zine is still available for purchase here! It's only $1 minimum and all proceeds will go to Australian Marine Conservation Society, which helps with protecting marine habitats around Australia.

Thank you @circlejourneyart for hosting again, and thank you for having me! ^^

Orca Party (cut felt, pencil, and oil pastel) my finished piece for The Sea Unseen 2026 Magazine, featuring 81 works of art, now available for download 🐟︎ @seaunseenzine

[magpieshrike-art]

Co-restoration efforts such as Operation Posidonia and Project Restore are being made in NSW, Australia to support two endangered species, White's Seahorse (Hippocampus whitei) and Posidonia australis.

Traditional block-and-chain swing moorings scar the slow to recover posidonia meadows that H. whitei rely on. New environmentally friendly moorings keep the chain from disturbing the meadows which are slowly being replanted by hand with seedlings that have been washed ashore and collected by citizen scientists.

With the loss of their natural habitat, H. whitei have been found to inhabit artificial structures such as swimming nets. To take advantage of this, Seahorse Hotels have been developed and deployed to safely release captive-bred seahorses. These biodegradable structures are taken over by soft corals, sponges, and seaweeds, providing a safe place for the seahorses to live while their natural habitat recovers.

You can find this piece and many more beautiful artworks of marine life in @seaunseenzine, a charity zine supporting the Australian Marine Conservation Society.

My piece for the @seaunseenzine , a zine that explore the marine ecossystem! This zine, for me, as a future biologist, is everything, so many amazing arts of amazing creatures that we don't see often!

My piece is a Pelagia Noctiluca, a pink jellyfish with spots that I love, specially that I've been studying jellyfish this semester hehe.

You can buy the zine here and all of the procedings will go to the Australian Marine Conservation Society, a registered, top-rated charity protecting the Great Barrier Reef and other marine habitats across the Australian continent. If you're interested in marine biology and art, this zine is for you!

I need to thank you the mods for the opportunity to participate in this zine!

Edwardsiella andrillae and some Antarctic silverfish eggs for @polarlightszine! Buy it here: polarlightszine.itch.io/polar-lights-4. Proceeds go to the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition!

Edwardsiella is a genus of anemone discovered under the Ross Ice Shelf in 2010. Unlike basically every other anemone, it makes its home upside-down under sea ice, making a hole in the ice through unknown means. It probably eats plankton, but the nature of this animal is overall still quite mysterious.

Parborlasia corrugata for @polarlightszine! Buy it here: polarlightszine.itch.io/polar-lights-4. Proceeds go to the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition!

Six feet of red proboscis worm, it takes in oxygen through its skin, which works due to the cold oxygenated water. It snurfles around the seafloor until it finds an unfortunate smaller animal or a corpse, at which point it seems to engulf the thing. It also exudes an acidic mucus when threatened!

God Syttende Mai / Happy Norwegian Constitution Day!

Posting a lil watercolor-style doodle of my favorite Hetalia boi to celebrate ❤️ Wayyy back when I first got into Hetalia, I always had this headcanon that the 17th of May was Norway's birthday~ (Maybe next year I'll draw him in a bunad)
