Sketchbook: Fishing with Pie

As they say, if you fish with pie you’ll only catch hairy whales. That is a saying, right?

FYI, it’s pumpkin pie.

Beware the little lights in the dark.

They are up to no good.

Lure

Fishing for spectral sturgeon takes a special kind of lure lowered into the deepest depths of the darkest lakes during the new moon.

These handsome fellows are convict tangs (a.k.a. surgeonfish or manini). This large school was swarming the reef in order to graze on patches of algae. The schooling helps them get to the food which is normally guarded by other reef inhabitants. Since the other reef fish find it quite the task to chase away so many invaders at once, it’s a feeding WIN for the tangs.

New Year’s Greetings

Natalie — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 13:59:27 +0000

Hello! I hope everyone had a nice holiday. I just recently returned from visiting my European relatives for Christmas and New Years. In addition to this trip, I was the photographer for my brother-in-law’s wedding which took place on Dec. 19. It’s been a crazy busy season for me. I’ve just been able to start the recovery process.

Needless to say, I’ve just gotten the chance to finish up my Christmas cards and send them off. I created a couple of pieces for this year, but only ended up using one of them. I had hoped to add color to the angler fish one, but given time constraints and not being satisfied with my first attempts, I decided just to use the squid tree one for everyone. So it goes. Perhaps I’ll resurrect the anger fish for next Christmas. It would be a shame not to use it for something.

You may also notice that the site has changed a little bit. I moved it over to a new provider and took the opportunity to update the theme to one that is less buggy. If anyone happens to find anything that doesn’t look quite right, please let me know. There may have been a few things that might not have transfered correctly. Thanks and Happy New Year! :)
