smacked by a fish (again)
I posted this gem earlier today over on the From the Stacks blog. This time (as a tool to help my own self see the changes over time) I remembered to take some photos of the process.
These follow after the break below. :)

Fish on Friday
Your Friday fish blog is here. I worked up this lovely Remora remora using carbon dust on illustration board for the latest Illustration Smackdown on the From the Stacks blog. Nature is full of wonderful creatures, but this one is just weird. The front dorsal fin has evolved into a giant sucker disc which the Remora uses to attach to a larger fish, turtle, ray, or shark. The larger animal swims fast enough to increase the oxygen flow over the Remora's gills, which is good since they will die in still waters. Wacky!

greetings from Monterey!
On day two of my recent conference, I played hooky and spent the morning walking to and from the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The public biking/walking path runs along the water front. I saw many harbor seals on the rocks, sea lions, sea otters, brown pelicans, canada geese, hermeen gulls, CA gulls, western grebes, pied-bill grebes...and other shore birds I couldn't readily identify. I had a relaxing morning collecting fish faces and talking to kids about drawing as I painted the horn shark. Have sketchbook, will travel!
