Orca power

It probably cost this guy (from the look of his dorsal fin i'd say it's a dude) no effort to get into this position, but look at the water splashing up and you can tell how much speed and power he has. I'm endlessly impressed by these creatures

Lion

This is a sketch Rembrandt did. What i find particularly brilliant about it is how he managed to portray menace even in this laying pose:

Rain arrows

After a seemingly endless stream of BS on my facebook and in sms's to friends, finally a line wandered into my head that's worth blogging. It could be the last line to an epic poem, and i already suggested that William Trubridge should write it with me. Of course, he's hesistant to do so, since it would involve disastrous amounts of absinth and opium to complete, and i think he's in training for something, probably a world record. Bastard.

The line goes: "it follows naturally that there are more rain arrows than rainbows"

The picture that i think goes with it best so far is this one:

a bit more flying

Here's a somewhat more serious attempt at flying a.k.a. 'dynamic with fin'. I sorta look like a rubber-wrapped banana, but you can tell how good my fin is by how straight it flows through the water. Have been wanting to use 'Feel flows' by the Beach Boys in a freediving movie for ages.

Tiger, no shark

William Winram dives with Tiger Sharks, but i wonder if anyone would dare diving with this one?

It tastes about as good as it's drawn.
