Just wondering if anyone has or collects art inspired by fish, Corals, your tank or anything aquatic related. Starting with an amazing gift from the man himself @revhtree an original water color by Nori Vossen. We hung this in our sons nursery and have been on the hunt for some more cool reef/fish art. Today we found it at a craft show we took our son to. The artist is an extremely talented watercolor artist who does amazing lifelike art but also some more cartoonish art for children. We bought a few from him today and plan to get some more soon. Just need to frame and hang them. (Sorry for my terrible photography)

Here’s the one that started things from rev:

And the new ones we picked up today:

I really enjoy the painting we got, have it hung by the tank so my real kole tang can observe what a well behaved tang looks like ;) I would like to get more artwork around the tank.

Here's a couple of my latest aquatic inspired artworks...
A couple of pieces made from using acrylic paints on reclaimed pallet boards that are assembled and then cut out in the shape of the fish.

My first attempt included a bad dad joke... a pallet Palette Tang;


The second one was to pay homage to this summer's superstar; the [Quality Marine/LiveAquaria] Peppermint Angelfish!



I've done other pieces of fish inspired artwork with reclaimed wood, but these are the latest; and my favorites.



I love Nori's paintings! She's good and she's continually putting out amazing work. I just wish I could produce a painting as often she does though.

By the way.... do fish cookies count???;)

This is a pencil drawing I did for a R2R Secret Santa gift. I would like to make a print of it for myself sometime.
This one is still hanging next to my tank! :D It's beautiful!!
