  1. @gikkt I finished her. And used up some very silly bits of yarn. Thanks for the inspiration. I'm really pleased with her.

  2. So, been working on a 3D printing side gig. I will be working on finalizing setup for separate social media over the next few days, but here's a preview of what's listed in the shop.

  9. Lamprey, Sharks and Rays (Marine Animals by Panini), Part 6

    Back with the last post of the Panini marine animals, this time we’re getting into the not-bony fish, jawless and cartilaginous fish. Most excitingly, it includes one of very few lamprey figures! Which is my way of saying that this one figure was primary the reason I picked up this set. In retrospect, probably the only for me (collectors’ mileages may vary). Let’s take a look! And see if it was […]

  10. @scubahanknyc I am so glad to be browsing on the Fediverse & discover your posts on Wordpress, especially given a shared love of whale sharks: what wonderful footage!

    However I'm seeing unclickable links & black boxes where previews should be, so instead of boosting I will highlight posts by replying with a link to your original article: scubahanknyc.com/2025/08/30/up

  11. There is something so fundamentally wrong with Israel and it's propaganda machine.

    They have slaughtered almost 100 thousands innocent civilians, they have gang raped hostages to death, they have shot babies in the head over and over again, but they have the audacity to post such disgusting tweet about starving Palestinians eating a stranded whale shark.

  13. Majestic Giants of the Philippines: Whale Sharks in Oslob

    In the coastal waters of Oslob, a giant emerges — the whale shark, the ocean’s gentle wanderer.

    Oslob is a small coastal town in the Philippines. Fishermen lure young whale sharks close to shore by offering handfuls of small fish. These encounters have made the town world-famous. They give divers and snorkelers a rare chance to see the largest fish in the ocean up close.

    Reaching lengths of up to 12 meters, whale sharks hold the title of the largest fish in the sea. Despite their massive size, they are filter feeders, living on plankton, tiny crustaceans, and small fish. When they feed, their cavernous mouths open wide. They draw in thousands of liters of water. This water passes through specialized gill rakers. This ingenious system allows them to extract even the tiniest morsels from the sea.

    Each whale shark carries a distinctive pattern across its back and sides. The white spots and stripes form a natural fingerprint, unique to every individual. Researchers use these markings to identify and track them, building a global picture of their movements and migrations.

    The practice of feeding whale sharks in Oslob draws them closer to shore than they might otherwise swim. For many visitors, this creates unforgettable encounters. It offers a chance to look into the eye of a giant. Visitors see their gills working in detail and understand their size from experience, not from a book. At the same time, these encounters raise important questions about tourism and conservation. How do humans interact with such extraordinary creatures?

    Behind the Film

    This short film was a project close to me because it was my first trip to the Philippines. I shot the original footage on a GoPro Hero 4 in 2015 during my dives in Oslob. Today, on International Whale Shark Day, I revisited the footage and edited the video in Final Cut Pro. The background music was composed in Logic Pro, and the narration was created using ElevenLabs’ text-to-speech feature.

  16. Diving with whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) is a bucket list activity for most nature lovers, and Ningaloo Reef is the ideal place to dive deep with these incredible creatures.

    Travelling with Australian Geographic Travel on a small-group tour offers an opportunity to explore the entire 6045sq.km of the World Heritage Area and marvel at wonders, both terrestrial and marine.

  18. How mesmerising it is to watch this whale shark (Rhincodon typus) descend into the ocean’s depths with some remora (Remora remora) on its tail. 🐋

    There’s a surprising amount we don’t know about whale sharks even though they’ve captured the world’s imagination, and swimming with them has catapulted them to the top of many people’s bucket lists.

  19. Decided to experiment with colour and types of shading/blending yesterday at the tattoo studio, and it was SO much fun! Though in hindsight, I probably should have decided on if I was going to colour it before I lined it lol.

    First up, a strawberry whale shark!! Just a happy lil big guy!! I might draw up a proper version of them as a flash piece, this was freehand for today.

  20. My friend Nancy and I swam with very BIG whale sharks in Holbox, Mexico yesterday! Quite simply one of the most transcendent experiences I’ve ever had.

    It’s hard to get a sense of scale from the video here, but this whale shark is 25-30 feet long.

    They are very gentle creatures. I was close enough to to touch the (admittedly huge) back fin.

  21. I wonder why #fish, who are native to water, don't grow as large as #SeaMammals? #BlueWhale can be 30m, while #WhaleShark will not be larger than 20m and it is the largest fish by a big margin. Is it something about anatomy? Is it evolutionary disadvantageous and #whales are only temporarily that big?
