#15 of 100 Elephants: Fish

It's and Elephant Fish! I really do not know what more to say about this.

Bow Ti Guy of the Day: Puffer Fish

Puffer Fish (ˈpəfərˌfiSH)

Also called puffers, blowfish, bubble fish, globefish, swellfish, toadfish, toadies, honey toads, sugar toads and sea squab, this is quite possibly the animal with the largest amount of names. They are also the 2nd most poisonous vertebrates in the world. These fish inflate when frightened. Hence the multiple names referencing their bulbous nature. 

IF Sight (sketching at the Fairbanks Museum)

As part of the sketching class I am teaching we visited the Fairbanks Museum in St Johnsbury VT. They have a wonderful selection of taxidermic animals that are wonderful to draw. It is great practice and warms them up to sketching from life when everything is moving. Inevitably all the animals I draw their end up with bow ties, glasses and sweater vests. The owl seemed to screech “sight”
