This is a fish that is interesting because of whom it is related to. It is a relative of the seahorse. These fish live in water near Southeast Asia, and usually appear in pretentious artwork where the author is trying to show that he or she knows more about fish than anyone else does. I don’t know if their life cycle appeals to feminists as much as the seahorse lifestyle does. Male seahorses are the ones to be pregnant and to give birth. This fish was a technical challenge to make, because I threw it on the wheel and had to make all of the ins and outs of the faceting match the drawing I made.
