Thank you! When I was a divemaster in the 90's, I had a newly certified diver swim up to an electric ray (even though I warned against it). It let off a charge that I guarantee he will remember for the rest of his life!! 🤣🤣🤣

Agreed!! No shark for me! 🤣🦈🤘

Thank you! I actually find this type of illustration to be calming. Don't have to worry about color theory at all... just shade and shadow. 🤙🤘

A little before. A little after.

This illustration of a Sand Tiger Shark (Carcharias taurus) ended up turning out even better than I had hoped. 🤘🦈💙

Love it when that happens! 🤣

Not as tongue-in-cheek as my other submissions, but overall, more important. #inktober Day 12: "Shredded."

Commercial Longline fishing is devastating to shark populations.

One of the main components of Great Hammerheads (Sphyrna mokarran) diet is stingrays. Sometimes they even keep a souvenir. 🤣🦈 Therefore, I submit to you my illustration for #Inktober Day 11: "Sting."
