Here's a new endeavor that I've been working on with my aquatic inspired art.

I recently purchased a Glowforge laser printer and have been creating a library of reef fish cut outs. I have over thirty species of reef fish drawn up so far with hundreds more planned.
The cutouts look good unfinished or painted with acrylic markers or acrylic paints.

The first species in the library was the Peppermint Angelfish, of course.
Medium draftboard; raw: 4"W.

Here's a collection of cut outs that were colored in with acrylic paint markers.
I call this the "P. Sherman Collector's Pack. ;)
Medium draftboard; acrylic marker: 4"W to 7"W.

And this was a larger piece that was commissioned; a Four Eyed Butterflyfish.
Thick draftboard; acrylic paints: 8"W.

Once I build up a large enough library, I'm planning to find an outlet for selling these online; as well as giving them as gifts in place of (or addition to) the fish cookies that I make already.

And I'm still working on more reclaimed wood paintings and other projects.
