Breaching Humpback Whale

Dan started this in his travel moleskine on the flight from Auckland to LAX, on the way back from our trip to Tonga. Obviously still under the spell of the humpback whales off Vava'u.

The scientific name for the baleen whales is mysticetes. Damn right, MYSTIC!

Check out photos from our trip to Tonga to swim with humpback whales HERE.

Ambonya Morning

November 9, 2010 We were in a very isolated place. Tourists don't come to Ambon much I don't think. Even divers don't come to this silty sandy trash strewn bay for the most part. We were her with a group of underwater photographers though who appreciated the muck diving in the bay of Ambon for the treasures it held - tiny beautiful creatures that are hard to spot on a coral reef, but easy enough to spot crawling across the sand or sitting on an empty paint can in 10 feet of water.

The little dive resort we were staying at had no internet and no TVs and i wake up early mostly, so I found a lot of time to draw. This morning I just watched the sun coming over the mountains on the opposite side of the bay and drew what i saw.

The U.S. Fund for UNICEF (USF) is raising funds to help children in Japan impacted by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. This is an unusual decision, as Japan is a donor to UNICEF, not a recipient of its assistance. However, due to the unprecedented nature of the epic disaster and its impact on children, resources are going to be critical in helping provide for the very unique needs of children. These may include health, development, and protection and other needs that may have been compromised or disrupted in the wake of the catastrophe. Giant Robot is proud to join the effort, and have asked many of our talented friends to create water-themed art to raise funds to support the efforts of UNICEF.
