Description
At first glance, this mug is as dark as the deep ocean, its glossy black surface concealing the creatures that inhabit the depths. But as you pour in a hot drink—coffee, tea, or hot chocolate—the hidden world of deep-water fishes is revealed.
This design showcases a selection of fascinating species that thrive in the ocean’s twilight and midnight zones. The Humpback Blackdevil (Melanocetus johnsonii), an anglerfish found at depths of up to 4,500 metres, uses a bioluminescent lure to attract prey. The rare Pocket Shark (Mollisquama parini), named for the unique light-emitting gland near its pectoral fin, remains one of the most elusive sharks ever recorded. The Giant Stingaree (Plesiobatis daviesi) is a little-known deep-water ray, while the Green Lanternshark (Etmopterus virens) and Viper Dogfish (Trigonognathus kabeyai) use bioluminescence and specialised teeth for survival in the depths.
- Glossy black finish when cold, concealing the artwork in darkness
- Reveals a vibrant deep-sea illustration when hot liquids are added
- Handwash only to preserve the design
- Not microwave or dishwasher safe
Perfect for anyone fascinated by the deep sea and the extraordinary life it holds.
Welcome to Stick Figure Fish Illustration
I illustrate sharks, rays, fishes and other marine and aquatic species with scientific accuracy and a deep respect for their beauty, biology, morphology and individuality.
Every piece I create is grounded in research and fieldwork, painted by hand, and driven by a desire to document life — especially the species we may not always appreciate and may not get to keep.
If you're here, you probably care about the natural world too.
Thank you for supporting independent science and art. I’m glad you’ve found your way here.
I now release small, curated collections of original paintings a few times a year — created independently, and offered first to my Collectors Waitlist.
These drops are shared privately with subscribers before being made public. Occasionally, they may sell out before reaching wider release.
If you’d like early access to new work — and the chance to shape what I paint next — you’re warmly invited to join the waitlist.
