Friday Deep Sea Picture: The Artwork Of Ben Lawson

We came across these wonderful drawings of deep-sea creatures from artist Ben Lawson. He was gracious enough to let us share his drawings and sketches with you. Be sure to check out Ben's website for many more fantastic and imaginative artwork (I really like the poison plants collection) and be sure to contact him if you are interested in purchasing any of his works. If you have a weird and grotesque animal, he may be interested in drawing too. Enjoy!
