Working on a conceptual poster on saving whales against military sonar testing. The whales breed, hunt, live-- depending on sound and over the past decade have been disrupted by sonar testing, believed to cause the deaths of many.
This the Humpback whale: known for its large size and interestingly their "songs" are the longest organized sound, other than humans. ...some songs are 5 to 15 minutes long. ( Could go on "singing" for over 36 hrs- thats quite the concert)
The second is the famous Moby Dick whale- The sperm whale- the largest of the whale species and a fact about them: Their communication of "clicking" sounds- ( also used to hunt- in the same way as sonar waves use to detect) are the loudest sound made by any animal.
Still developing the concept- and enjoying the research!

Hey Kim!!!
I found your blog :) I love the whale drawings so far, especially the top one, the line work is beautiful. I wrote you this big long e-mail about how you should come to Austin for the Austin City Limits festival because Cat's coming and maybe Heather and it would be really fun. And I also asked how you were doing...but it said I had the wrong address. :(
Well I'm glad I found your blog now so I can check up and see all the cool stuff your working on :)
