MEET THE SRKW!

J-27/BLACKBERRY | MALE | 28 

Blackberry, an adult male, was born the same year as Mike (J-26). He and his siblings, Mako (J-39) and Tsuchi (J-31), are often seen traveling together. However, there are times when Blackberry is off with other adult males his age. His saddle patches are strikingly bright white and combined with his tall dorsal fin he stands out in a group. He became an uncle in May 2019 to Tofino (J-56).

Breaking Stillness

Finally finished! My submission for the orca charity book (organized by @derangedhyena-delphinidae) featuring one of my favorite southern residents - J27 Blackberry!

This piece was a huuuuuge learning experience for me, both with painting techniques and subject matter (making smooth things look wet is HARD). Regardless, I’m looking forward to seeing how the book comes together!

An unbelievable day today! J pod in the Strait of Georgia and J27 "Blackberry" doing this! There isn't much I can say about this....I'm still in shock. Man, I love that whale!
