In addition to being a scientist, blogger, and a good friend of mine, Daniel Brown of BioChemicalSoul is also a very talented artist. His latest series is called “Ocean Invasions“, and they show marine animals entering the terrestrial world. One of the most recent pieces deals with my favorite subclass- Elasmobranchs! “The Great Migration” shows a group of manta rays flying over a forest. You can see the original here.

David, Thanks so much for linking to this David!
I make this stuff as a hobby, so it’s really nice to have folks looking at it.
To everyone else – just know that thanks to David I got to pet a penguin…
I also like Octopus arborealus. Thanks for sharing!
Daniel,
One comment, two questions
1)The mantas at the top of the illustration are depicted as having a black underside. Most mantas have a white or gray coloration with black spots on their undersides.
2) I love the illustration. How do I obtain a print?
3) Where can I view the other illustrations you’ve created.
Keep up the imaginative work!
