SCUBA in west Hawai'i... oh BOY!

I am sensitive about living things.

I have been known to save drowning ants and carefully take all manner of bugs outside that I find in our house, from flies to giant cockroaches (I do kill mosquitos, ticks, and fleas.) I am an almost-vegetarian but have an unfortunate passion for sushi, ahi poke, and grilled fresh fish, a contradiction I struggle with. I feel guilty when I pull weeds, and lately, cutting down invasive trees. Here's some recent experiences like this, illustrated:

So I haven't had time to draw about the amazing creatures I've seen lately
the day octopus and the pale-tail unicorn fish!

I apologize! It will be worth it, however, I promise. In the meantime, check out this hilarious comic I did for an anthology about bay area transportation. This is a TRUE STORY (unfortunately, it is someone else's true story, not mine.)

But they have rich inner lives

everywhere I look, there are animals.
