A couple of my recent illustrations for the recent ‘Help, I’m Stuck’ competition run by Picture Hooks. I based this on the most endangered porpoise in the world, the Vaquita, after reading about them recently. There is a shockingly low number of these creatures left now in Mexico, sadly as a result of bycatch - being trapped in illegal nets intended for other fish. There are ongoing efforts to save them but I really wish there was a make-believe hero that could help. #illustr
