My piece for @swimonzine - you can still get the zine and support the shark conservation here!

[xmaveria]

I was part of the @swimonzine Volume 10 a shark charity zine. You may still purchase it here which I highly recommend it to shark fans and enthusiasts. I'm always excited to be part of zines like these and this was no different! I picked two Deep Ocean Sharks, The greater green lantern shark, and the lesser known Megamouth cousin of the Whale shark and Basking Shark

🦈 Frilled Shark 🦈

"Regarded as a living fossil, this eel-like shark is rarely seen since it lives at such extreme ocean depths. Despite being around and relatively unchanged for over 80 million years, the first natural sighting was in 2004."

Swim On 10

The pieces I did for the last Swim On zine, which you can still support! It was such a tough decision to stop Swim On after this but it's gotten so much bigger than I ever expected and I just don't have enough time anymore to put into it. I may come back to it at some point, but for now 10 volumes was a good place to say goodbye! [Image ID: Cover image of Swim On, Blue Planet. A whale shark swims through the ocean being followed by a school of fish. The text "A shark zine for charity edited by Jey Pawlik" at the bottom. Illustration of a necklace carpet shark seen from above, it's curled up in a circle sitting over a hoard of treasure like gems, coins, pearls, and a sword. Comic about Swell Sharks. Panel one, a sign that reads "Shark PCA" with two swell sharks next to it nuzzling each other. Narration reads "Looking for a new best friend? We have a great selection of Swell Sharks!" Panels three to five are all circular, in a row, and showing the Swell Shark glowing in the dark. Narration reads "They glow in the dark! Great for: Raves, Nightlights, The Abyssal Plane!" Panel six, narration reads "They inflate!" and we see the Swell shark sitting on top of the water all puffed up and smiling. Text reads "Have a pool party!" Panel seven, a Swell shark wearing a dog collar and barking. Text reads "Impress your friends with their ability to bark!" Panel eight, a Swell shark smiling against a retro styled background with 90s triangles around it. Narration reads "These sharks are swell!" /end ID]

My full piece for @swimonzine!

I chose to paint an oceanic whitetip shark for my submission. Their speckled fins make me think of snow-capped mountains, so I painted this particular shark and her pilot fish entourage swimming around some cloudy peaks.

Buy the zine here to support shark conservation!

My full entry for the @swimonzine

I did the viper dogfish shark, because I saw it an immediately went XENOMORPH. So, I sort of tried to make it look like it popped out of an Aliens screenshot.
