Swim On 2023 Pieces

Forgot to post my Swim On pieces from last year’s zine! I drew some guitarfish (which are technically sharks but also rays), and then a collab with my nephew of a great white he drew (I cleaned it up, coloured and did the background). If you missed it, be sure to check out the Swim On zine I run every year!

I was fortunate enough to be part of this year’s Swim On zine; this incredible book features over a hundred illustrations from scores of artists, and all proceeds will be donated to finfree.org to combat shark finning!

I have a soft spot for Greenland sharks, and I can’t help but think of them as the elders of the ocean— they live 200-500 years! My piece features a Greenland shark, with a salmon shark in tow.

Hey gang! I am so excited to announce my involvement in the 9th annual SWIM ON zine! This is a charity zine and all proceeds go toward shark conservation efforts. Help me and the other amazing artists who worked on this support these awesome creatures! 🦈
