The Pink Crustacean

Ocean-related shenanigans. Nautical nonsense if you wish.

Fish of the week Tuesday, and this one’s a no-brainer. It’s been a long time coming, an all-timer, yet-unsung on this Bsky account but it’s time to give him his flowers. You all know him, you all love him, give it up for the Redfish/red drum. What a guy.

Instead of getting angry at other drivers, I'm just going to assume this is what they are doing and I shall be at peace

Ya'll wish you were this cool

Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.

Oh it’s the tide. It’s the dismal tide. It is not the one thing

As the cold months set in, my will to oceanpost becomes weaker. I will persist, but expect an influx of other stuff.

#Poetry #Painting #FishingBoats Smell of high-tide and of newcut fir, Smell of low-tide, fish, weed!--I swear I love every blessed smell that's there-- For, aeons ago when the sea began, My soul was the soul of a sailorman. - Isabel Ecclestone Mackay 🎨 Mike Bernard

It is done. My magnum opus. My legacy.

Fish of the week Tuesday and we’re keeping it simple. Classic. Blue snapper.
