It is neat that drawings like these, because they are so precise and intricate, make us wonder what the creatures look like for "real." I used to read books on marine life over and over again as a kid. It is hard to imagine being a part of that undersea world. Great post, John! Such fantastical illustrations!

Yes, this blog is quite green, though it's going to look very blue this summer. To me, the ocean includes everything that lives in or around it, for they are all part of the living ecosystem. If anyone has ideas for future posts, send me an email! Thanks for all the comments! Yes, this blog is quite green, though it’s going to look very blue this summer.

(and thank you Gina :) I love your piece too!) RIpple is a powerful force. How amazing to see so many illustrators come together. Admittedly, my mind was focused on the animals when I decided to contribute...I love your idea of celebrating the ocean as a whole. Can't wait to see what else you conjure up :) Thank you John for posting about this… (and thank you Gina :) I love your piece too!) RIpple is a powerful force.
