9 Toes Beach Club

Ever since I was young I've had somewhat of a water phobia. Knowing fish like the 'Angler Fish' lurk in the deepest parts of the Oceans waiting to bit my toes off doesn't make me want to go swimming anytime soon. Lakes are fine and I love Sea-Dooing but I still prefer the non-infested chlorinated variety swimming hole.

Ah.... More Vonster! I needed a fix! Love the way that lower lip sweeps into the the rest of the head shape.

Vonster! That angler fish is a beauty! Love your colorful version. Aren't they amazing?

I get Discover Magazine and Smithsonian Magazine and I am fascinated with those crazy creatures deep, deep in the sea, with lights and no eyes, etc. And what about the microbe creatures being discovered living in ice and in volcanic boiling waters in the sea? Or those way-cool microcopic parasites living in our guts and our eyebrows and everywhere else?

Who needs outer space creatures, when they are right here in our world? And, thanks to you, right here on Sugar Frosted Goodness.

Beauty! Love the geometry going on here, 'specially the line going from its belly, chin, through the jaw to the tip of that highest tooth.

Did you used to doodle like this as a kid? I mean, that thing where you scribble up a page with a black crayon an then fill in the spaces with different colours? That's what your technique always reminds me of.
