Artist’s notes:

The Sea Clown Triopha was completed on 10.19.2013. As the years roll by, I find myself drawing more and more esoteric and obscure animals. It seems like, as I approach 1000 drawings completed, there are less large land animals, commonly seen birds and so forth left to draw (although with over a million species identified I’m not in much danger to run out!) So, with my love of tide pool animals, I turn to the smaller word. The Sea Clown is barely an inch long, but it to me is no less worthy a subject to draw than any tiger, rhino or eagle. The drawing is based on a photo by Gary McDonald was used with his permission.
