We spent about 10 hours out on boats this day. First on a ferry to Vinalhaven, an island populated by mostly fishermen, and then on a lobster boat, which dropped off supplies and researchers at two of the Puffin islands. I was lucky enough to go ashore on Matinicus Rock and view the Puffins and Terns nesting there (and climb the lighthouse). The illustration was inspired by how the Puffins would gather together in little groups. I never knew they huddled so close together.
Also, here are two commissions that were a lot of fun to draw. Deep and Shallow Ocean Scenes.
Deep Ocean: Vampire Squid, Angler Fish, Eel, Plankton, and various Jellyfish
Shallow Sea: Octopus, Nautilus, Seahorses, Coral, Crabs, Anemones, Jellyfish, Starfish, Seaweed, and Fish

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable!! And I LOVE those sea creatures...I'm a watercolor-er myself, and I'm curious, what kind of pens do you use?
ReplyDeleteThanks Joa! I use Faber-Castell pens (it says PITT artist pen on it). They use Indian ink, so they are waterproof once it dries. They sell them individually and also in a 4 pack that I like to buy with different sizes.
