Devonian Reef

I am working on a commission about the amazing, ancient Devonian Reef. Here are two thumbnails which include Ammonites, Nautilus, Trilobites, Sponges, Cnidarians, Hydrozoas, Echinoderms and more....I was sent an amazing book on Invertebrate Palaeontology and have been enjoying the research about some phylum's that are extinct and others still surviving the in modern day seas.

Seahorses in Progress

Carve Carve Carve! I am busily carving up this woodcut for a collaboration between Pyramid Atlantic and The Sargasso Sea Alliance. Pyramid Atlantic invited 16 artists to make a piece of art about animals in the Sargasso Sea and they are going to make 28" x 8' scrolls that will feature the special marine life that call the Sargasso home. So far the scrolls are slated to be shown at the Washington Printmakers Gallery and Bermuda. 

Pinniped Predicament

And, it's finished! Newest woodcut about crusty ice and walruses. Walrus use ice as a resting site when out to sea searching for prey and as a safe haven to raise pups, far away from the threat of polar bears and people. If the ice disappears, their safety is in danger. All animals that depend on sea ice find themselves in a bit of a "predicament."

A splash of color to brighten up a grey day in New York City.

A Pinniped Preview

Just about the print the last color on this walrus clump. The guy in the foreground looks like he is ailing from ocean acidification...or the flu.
