Today's a very important day, it's World Eel Day!!

European Eels have a fascinating life cycle, starting out in the sea as little leaf-shaped larvae, riding currents into Europe as they grow, and then finally returning to the sea as full-grown eels! You can learn more about these slippery fish and their conservation efforts at EelSuitcase !

(Psssttt, I'm selling prints of this here, the original A3 gouache painting will be going up for sale on my website soon)

Heads up, big eel news coming your way:

World Eel Day 2024 will be on May 17th!

Last year, created the 2023 poster for the World Eel Day campaign. To my surprise, they asked me to come back for this year's one, too! You can watch my process videos (it's a big gouache painting!) over here for part one, and in part two I explain what World Eel Day is and how you can take part! It's rEELy easy!
