When your girlfriend makes a random remark and that gives you incentive to create… not that I need much prompting!

For May 17th, today's the day for cute. For this day, I decided to draw that adorable, shy octopus from that famous video, a little in my style

Goblin shark time again!

Time to check in with the hammerheads…

For May 16th, today is the seahorse's turn. For this day, I decided to make none other than the eccentric, tactless, and deafening seahorse known as Stanley

Reflecting on catching up (albeit briefly) with old friends despite the bleak circumstances that brought us back together…

I woke up at 5am(ish) last Sunday and not settling back to rest, I switched my radio on and hoped for the best. Next thing I know I’m half awake listening to one of Yo La Tengo’s more drone oriented songs. The track itself was 8 minutes long but felt longer… of course, this gave me ideas. What do you expect?

For May 12th, today is the coral reef's turn. For this day, I decided to invite Aqua, who went out to explore the ocean and found a huge, incredible coral reef. They'd never seen anything like it

“You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.”

For May 10th, today is the day for bubbles. For this day, I decided to make Equilor, who, while swimming, came across a strange oyster, which, when opened, released the bubble motor
