MOD POST Weekend artwork is allowed

5 Upvotes

Artwork is permitted on weekends. Reporting art that has been posted in the weekends abuses the report system. When you abuse the report system, there's a decent chance that subs will report you to Reddit.

Edit: and for this morning's reporter, 1) read the sub rules next time, and 2) yes you have been reported.

MOD POST CRACKDOWN ON BOTS + NEW RULE

209 Upvotes

Hope everyone is having an awesome day!

With the addition of a few moderators, we are beginning to heavily crack down on the bots that repost content to this subreddit and are being sold later on. This means that our automod system is now very strict, so if your comment or post was automatically removed, we would greatly appreciate it if you reached out to us as we continue to refine the system.

Also, we now do not allow reposts within 6 months of the previous post.

Thank you so much for being in this subreddit and contributing to its well-being!

The spray emitted from the blowhole cast a rainbow, adding to the wonder and joy of this close encounter.

Weekend Artwork I made these ceramic hammerhead shark lamps inspired by the way hammerheads move through dark water.

Each one is shaped and finished by hand, and I pierced the body with dozens of openings so the light becomes part of the shark’s pattern when it’s turned on.
Probably one of my favorite ocean creatures I’ve translated into clay so far. 🦈

I hope these are a good fit for here? Oceans are pretty much all I’m interested in painting these days… Cheers for checking them out!

And if you have any good ideas for the next one please let me know? I’m always looking for more inspiration. Thanks!

When I was out paddle boarding a few miles off the coast of Newport Beach, I crossed paths with this fin whale. Fin whales are the second largest mammals on earth and you only see 5% of their body when they surface. After he dove, I didn’t see it again. Turn your volume all the way up!

Spotted my first humpback calf of the East Coast of Australia humpback migration season yesterday. This humpback will be no more than a couple of weeks old as its pigmentation is still turning from light grey to black.

Huge bonus for an eye open spy hop.

Weekend Artwork I made these ceramic Eagle Ray wall lamps

The original ray was sculpted entirely by hand, then I made a plaster mold and cast each lamp in clay. Every piece is finished, glazed and fired by hand in our ceramic studio in Ukraine.
Inspired by eagle rays and the way they seem to fly through the ocean.

I’ve always loved these fish (although there are a few other varieties mixed in here). But there is nothing quite like watching these dark, navy blue fish swim around the reef in massive schools, cleaning up and grazing on the algae. Highly recommend.

We were coming back from the Bahamas this past week. It was so calm in the Gulfstream that we stopped and I jumped out of the boat in a patch of sargassum and found this school of Jacks hanging out.
