Beach bites






Whenever my wife and I go over to the beach we always look for shark's teeth....it's sort of an obsession.  
Needless to say that over the years we have collected quite a few so last year while preparing for a show I thought I'd pay tribute to our passion (as well as the passion of all those who love to hunt shark's teeth) and do a series of little drawings. Each drawing is pencil on paper and is 4"x 3-1/2" and I float mounted them all side by side in a simple white frame so the effect looked like a specimen case in a lab. The trompe l'oeil effect was pretty neat.
Enjoy!
