Call of the Sirens

I haven't been submitting art all that frequently to dA lately, not because I haven't been doing much art - quite the contrary actually! It is just that most of it has been ending up elsewhere online, so I have neglected to post them here.

One of the most regular outlet for my art has been *Creepy but Curious* - a monthly radio segment that I do on the local radio. Since 2013, I've been going on this segment to talk about all kinds of interesting animals that we share this planet, which most people have not even heard of (you can see a dA piece I submitted back in 2013 about that the-episiarch.deviantart.com/a… ) (also, if you are wondering, you can find links to all the back episodes from 2013-2014 here: www.zoology.net.au/eepl-media-… ).

Since that first episode in 2013, it has become a tradition for me to draw a cartoon/drawing of the animal(s) that I will be talking about for the episode that month which goes online at the radio station's website. They started out as relatively simply pieces that I can throw together in 30-60 mins but this year, I've decided to step up my game and have been making some far more elaborate pieces, to a point where I feel like I should submit them here as well.

The above piece is for an episode I did about the Sirens (Family: Sirenidae) - a family of fully aquatic salamanders which are found in freshwater habitats of southern United States and northern Mexico, and you can listen to it here: soundcloud.com/abcnsw/creepy-b…

Other episodes I've recorded (and did drawings for) this year includes:
The Vegetarian Spider goo.gl/FQZYJI
Do Stunned Fish Dream of Electric Eels: goo.gl/6sRezz
The Wood-Eating Shipworms: goo.gl/ddxFEj


P.S. You'll find that there are little references to Otorimonogatari scattered throughout this piece - if you know where to look...
