News flash from the Daily Dog: Brother Bob the Art Critic said
"Bobo's self portrait shows a remarkable lack of artistic talent. Francis Bacon he is not!"

The ocre stones that I ground to colour this fish are from my large collection of found stones.

Fleas rule.

 Did you know water-fleas have more genes than humans? 5 millimeters long, the water flea packs in more genes than any species yet sequenced. With 30,907 genes, Daphnia pulex has at least 5,000 more than humans!
Many newly evolved to help the fleas combat climatic changes and pollutants.
