Getting closer and closer on this one, almost to the details stage where everything really snaps into place. This piece is for shows with the @unseenocean.bsky.social #deepsea #deepseacreatures #deepocean #deepseaart 🐡🦑 #art #acryliconcanvas #brittlestars

This new fav sponge is either Chondrocladia grandis or Chondrocladia concrescens, as both species occur in Alaskan waters! #deepsea #deepseacreaturea 🐡🦑 #deepseaart

When a paragraph of text can make an image believable enough to fool nanna on Facebook, how can we help our listeners spot fakes. @TylerGreenfieId joins us again to help us tell the megs from the mermaids.

Adding feeding polyps to my Bubblegum coral model!
Only one side has open polyps - just like in real colonies, where the side facing the current feeds. When retracted, the soft polyp tissue tucks safely into the skeleton #paragorgia #deepsea #unseenoceancollective

A close-up of an acrylic painting of a decorator crab using shades of orange, coral, beige, white, and steel blue.

Beautiful little decorator crab coming to life! As a true blue maximalist I’m so drawn to these little guys covered in their excessive disguises- load it on, then load on more, then MORE AND MORE AND MORE! 😆 #deepsea #deepseacreatures #deepocean #decoratorcrab #acrylicpainting #art 🐡🦑
