Where Did the Time Go?

It’s been way too long since my last post. Where did the summer go? Although by the weather this week it sure feels like summer is still here! I’ve had a busy summer. I went down to the Turks & Caicos twice for some much needed diving and r&r. The first trip was at the end of June through the July 4 week and then I returned there for the last week in August. Diving as usual was terrific and I had a chance to reunite with friends from around the world. As always my diving trips inspired new designs to be added to my shops. Here are a a few from my Kanji collection. They are the Kanji characters for Peace, Ocean & Love:



Solstice

Happy summer everyone! Today is the summer solstice, the longest day of the year and the start of my favorite season! Summer is a time for kicking back, being lazy and enjoying the oudoors. I’m getting ready to go on vacation next week. I’m heading down to the Caribbean to go scuba diving. I’m hoping to get a whole bunch of new photos and ideas for my underwater artwork as well as inspiration for my t-shirt designs.

In honor of the solstice here are a few of my summer designs from my shop for you to look at. There are plenty more where they came from so please come stop by and browse through all my sections. You don’t have to be a scuba diver to love these shirts & gifts. See more designs at WearMyDiveArt.com and Wear My Dive Art!



Seafriends Gives Back

As a scuba diver and inhabitant of this planet I feel very strongly about the need to conserve our oceans resources. The oceans cover 70 percent of the earth’s surface and compose 97 percent of the earth’s water. It is estimated that 80 percent of all life on earth is found under the water. With this in mind, I am introducing Seafriends, a new design series For every design purchased within this group I will donate a portion of the proceeds to two very important ocean conservation causes:
• The Shark Research Institute (SRI), a multi-disciplinary non-profit scientific research organization, was created to sponsor and conduct research and promote public awareness of sharks and their vital role in the marine ecosystem. SRI works to correct misperceptions about sharks and stop the slaughter of 100 million sharks annually.
• Conserve Our Ocean Legacy is a non-profit, non-partisan campaign to build support for ocean and fish protection. Pollution, habitat destruction, mismanagement and overfishing have impoverished our ocean resources, and have caused more than 90% of the world’s large fish, including tuna, swordfish and marlin to disappear from our oceans.
