I did a line drawing of the coelacanth at the American Museum of Natural history @amnh.org a few days ago. This morning I colored in that drawing with charcoal colored pencils. #SundayFishSketch #AMNH
If you've got a hankering for some coelacanth cookies (and with #Fishmas right around the corner, who doesn't?) then you're in luck
My coelacanth cookie cutter is now available to download & 3D print
