Picked this up from @sharkbitesteve.bsky.social at Thought Bubble and it’s excellent. Digging (biting?) into the dark reality of what happened to Quint’s USS Indianapolis. Very recommended.
Churchill apparently declared that the British Government was ‘entirely opposed to sharks.’

Got around to framing up this awesome @sharkbitesteve.bsky.social Transformers piece that I commissioned a while back, Steve’s been involved in two of my childhood passions via Transformers and Dinosaurs, so it’s a real honour to have original art by a legend in the industry. Such a talent!

A new piece of an old piece. Of the dozen or so Magic: The Gathering cards I did, the pygmy hippo is apparently the rarest, and the original art is long gone. I was, however, commissioned to do a new version. This meant gridding up a card to reconstruct the new version as accurately as possible.

Belantsea.
A very weird cartilaginous fish from the Bear Gulch Formation. The candy-striped fish in the foreground are Aesopichthys, the others are Discoserra. The squid-like cephalopods are Syllipsimopodi.
Another piece for the shark book.
Thanks to the kittens for their help.

Another shark piece. In heavy seas, a huge Cosmopolitodus bungles an attack on a family pod of the little baleen whale Piscobalena. Pisco Formation, Miocene Epoch.
I've often wondered, on a piece like this, how many lines I do. I photographed the first makes made. 08.50 1st August.
