And that's a wrap for this sketchbook! That's 110 pages drawn over 2+ years featuring ~206 completed #SundayFishSketch and #SciArtSeptember works. Shoutout to the #TeamFish #SciArt community—especially @lampichthys.bsky.social and @lizlagomorph.bsky.social. Here's to many more notebooks to come! 🐡🦑🧪

Detox Doodles!

This is one of a series of daily sketches that I've been doing to curb my mindless scrolling!

This page is all about pufferfish!

Weedy sea dragon for #sundayfishsketch

I volunteer at an aquarium and this is one of the glorious weirdos I help take care of.

Seahorse feat. copepod, shrimp, and brine shrimp- all common foods for seahorses. And scallops bc they're pretty.

This artwork was commissioned via my Ko-fi page! If you're interested in something similar, pls check out my page or send me a message :)

Here is a signal goby for #sundayfishsketch. I’m still in on a boat, so this is digital, which is more travel-friendly than watercolor. #sciart #coralreefs #marinelife #oceanconservation.

Baby lumpfish for #SundayFishSketch. Kind of based on balloon lumpfish they're not as true to a reference as I usually go for. Watercolour blobs and acrylic pen details

Things don’t always go as planned. When that happens sometimes all we can do is make the best of it and go on.

A #SundayFishSketch with shellfishes and a fish. Probably an early 80s crime show? Mussels and the bowfin, solving mysteries and stopping pollution! Invasive mussel on the native mussel is a bit of a twist.

For today's #sundayfishsketch the false cleanerfish. I learned about this species from Finspan and it pretends to be a cleaner fish and then takes a bite out of the fooled fish! Well played!
