Be a Dog Person: Deep Sea Sharks #3


Next in the Deep Sea Sharks campaign for Fin Fighters - Dogfish! I didn't know there were so many varieties of dogfish until recently.  I tried to choose a couple of different ones to give you a scope . These cute sharks are being sold off as fish and chips and other menu items.

Look Deeper #1: Fin & Chips



This is something I worked on for another upcoming project from Fin Fighters UK about many businesses selling shark under other names. Many times, one may not know exactly what fish it is that they may be eating.
I recently heard that they sell dogfish under the name rock salmon. I'm looking forward to this campaign kicking off soon.

Not just a pretty face: Deep Sea Sharks #2


Here's another interesting shark from the Deep Sea Sharks campaign - The Goblin Shark. If you haven't watched a video of the Goblin Shark eating its prey, do it now. It is weird and cool.

Frilled to be a Shark! - Deep Sea Sharks #1


I've been working with Fin Fighters on their new campaign to raise awareness about deep sea sharks. Here's a sneak preview of what is to come.
I must admit that I didn't particularly fancy several of these species and thought a lot of them looked similar (especially when I try to draw them) but once I started finding them interesting and needing to be recognised as sharks too. They add to the amazing tapestry of shark varieties and what makes them so fascinating.
The Frilled Shark is one of them. I found it a bit tricky to draw but when I finished the drawing, the caption happened quite easily.

Hooked on the blues!


The Shark Trust told me about several sharks that are endangered due to overfishing and I worked on a couple of sketch ideas, this being one of them. Blue sharks are adorable - stop overfishing!
