Description
Which one do you think is the predator?
Ok, to be honest, this is somehow a metaphor and a parody of "capitalism".
I have been willing to do something like this since some time…
Everything is connected in this image (the smallest fish at the top is asking for help, see detail).
I took the photo near Sousse in Tunisia not too long ago, I also made the drawing.
I'm not a biologist or a fish expert, I just drew these animals intuitively.
If you wish, you can view some details and the work in progress here.

There is not much I can Critique on for your outstanding art. As an on-and-off doodler, I am easily impressed with your real-life drawings. The fish are simple and cartoon-like, yet I feel like they could really jump in front of the man at any moment. With perspective from the man doing the fishing and the fish themselves, I felt that the drawing mad the man seem like he was on a higher cliff than actually being close to the rocky shore. All-in-all, I have never seen anyone else create art like this before in my life. Your ideas are completely original. I can, at least, tell that much from a glance. One look at your artistry, and I could tell that I wouldn't see anything like this from anyone else. (If, however, someone is doing something like this, then I have not had the pleasure of being acquainted with said individual.) I would like for you to keep up the good work and don't let any other person's negativity slow you down.
