Started our day making hashbrowns & crazy breakfast, followed by a lot of ooooooo’s & aaaaaa’s at the art museum, and then Odd Duck for dinner. The whole day was wonderful. Cheers to 7 years with my best friend, my biggest supporter, and truly my other half. I love this guy to infinity and beyond. ❤️

Envelopes have been doodled upon and the first batch of art is en route to a few shark-loving homes! I’ll make more of these 4”x6” hand-drawn illustrations this week and will keep you all posted. 🥰💙🦈 #snailmail #sharkart #oceanart

I created a couple new greeting cards to go with the 4”x6” illustrations I’m sending to shark-loving homes. I hope everyone likes them! #blueshark #bullshark #sharkart #oceanart

My mom has been bringing me to Spectrum School of the Arts & Gallery since I was a kid. Now, we each have a piece of art in the “Black & White (and shades of gray) Invitational” showcase. My mom always supported my art journey - I was born to draw. I’m so glad I can support her art journey now. 🖤

Bills are approaching (again), so if you’ve ever wanted a hand-drawn illustration from me, now might be the time! I will be making a few happy sharks tomorrow that can be sent via snail mail. Toss some love here if your interested and I’ll keep you posted on the ink. #greatwhite #greatwhiteshark

I finished my b/w piece for the next show at Spectrum School of the Arts & Gallery! Haven’t decided on a title yet. Inked illustration with watercolor, paying tribute to a similar painting I made 10 years ago. Maybe “I love this face” or “I want to squish your face” or “Squishy face”…Thoughts? 🖤

I know I don’t post much, but I’m still here and still working on sharks (daily)! Right now, we (Sharks4Kids and I) are working on the next coloring book! As you can see…this one will include the whale shark! 💙💙💙

Currently a work-in-progress - stay tuned! #whaleshark

Voting is IMPORTANT! 💙

I’m not just a shark artist. I have a voice and I can use it to hopefully help elect officials who care about conservation and our oceans (even if that’s not their main focus).

U.S. folks - Did you vote today?

Two sharks converse in a four-panel comic. One offers a hug, then tea. The other declines the hug but accepts the tea. Both hold teacups in the final panel.

Tea.

One of the things I’ve made recently is my own sketchbook. Today, I made the second one thanks to local artist Jo Thul. Love her #bookbinding classes so much!

This was so wonderful to see this morning. Thank you so much! It means so much to me to see my art being appreciated like this. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🥰🥰😋

But yeah, I get it with the struggle to keep the driveway clear. Still, that’s a problem I’d love to have when these storms hit. Instead we’re just hoping no issues arise because getting out of this area is crazy difficult in the snow.

Wow that’s impressive as far as the plows go! Despite having snow through winter here - the city struggles to keep the roads clear. The road I live on is treated like a dead-end (saved for last & only 1 plow stopped by once). Usually not safe to drive on it for a few days after a storm…or longer. 🙃

“Signing the order in the Oval Office last night, he told reporters: "We're going back to plastic straws.
"I don't think plastic is going to affect a shark very much, as they're munching their way through the ocean."
