The Life Aquatic: Jelly fish

I find jelly fishes so mesmerizing and terrifying at the same time. Whenever I go to the aquarium, I spend the most time in front of jelly fishes, hypnotized by their fluid motion.

They are also my favorite side dish, it tastes great all chopped up with sugar and vinegar.

Sometimes a guy just wants to draw a hot mermaid, y'know?

The Life Aquatic: Bill Murray

Triggerfish

Some years ago I used to dive regularly in the Indian Ocean. It's an amazing thing to do and I recommend it to everyone. I saw many incredible things. One of the ones that sticks in my mind was this one Triggerfish that decided that it wanted me to leave it's territory and to emphasize it's point it decided to attack me! Despite our enormous size difference this thing would NOT back down and kept swimming at me then darting away at the last moment. I had time to take some ( very poor) photographs of this happening. I eventually retreated to a safe distance as he was probably protecting his young or something and I was starting to feel guilty that he was spending so much energy on trying to frighten me. I remember thinking at the time it would be amazing to be able to sketch this.

This drawing was done in 35 minutes flat using a sharpie marker and Photoshop. I'm trying to get quicker at this sort of stuff.

The Life Aquatic

The Life Aquatic is the theme today.
I was in a gag mood.
Even if it's a "meh" gag...

Life Aquatic: Cherish!

I know, this looks like some wicked queer polo ad (not that there's anything wrong with that!), but hear me out. Today's theme of Life Aquatic was George's idea, and the first thing that popped into my head was Madonna's Cherish video- u know, the one with the mermen?! Yeah, you totally remember it. Anyway this is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PART (if you watch the video, it's at the 2:20 mark). I love how it looks like someone was just like "YO MERMEN" from off screen, and they all turn to look. Heheh.

So yeah. This was just a warm-up brush sketch, but I'm so giggly about it I feel like drawing a comic based on these guys, haha! So funny.
