This was a fun, crazy and exciting effort of asking a lot of people, “What are some animals that live under water?” and the answers that I received about certain animals that I never heard of (like the trap-door fish) from my kids and other people I’m around, inspired me to come up with a collage / mash up of a variety of cool crazy looking sea creatures. And a neat easter egg is on the boats I have special people on them.
