Beneath the waves, along the reef and sandy floor, lives the ocean’s hardworking cleanup crew. Crabs, lobsters, kina, and pāua — the foragers, the filter feeders, the reef’s recyclers.

This collection celebrates the creatures that keep the ecosystem alive and balanced, sketched in the same raw, detailed style as our pelagic hunters and apex predators. They may not steal the spotlight, but the ocean couldn’t thrive without them.
