They also tend to appear in seasons when concentrations of phytoplankton and organic particles are at their highest, because that is when their �janitorial� services are most needed.
About Tom Blodgett Jr
I hope these paintings will in some way inspire you to investigate these organisms further. Their wondrous forms and capabilities are often overlooked and underappreciated. Imagine the tapestry that would color your world if you could communicate using sonar (yet still be able to learn human sign language) like a dolphin, smell with the intensity of the Polar Bear, understand chemical signals like the Honey Bee, navigate up to 600 miles from memory like the Desert Elephant, or utilize the earth’s geomagnetic fields to swim 800 miles like the Green Sea Turtle.

Hello Tom, I have just completed a novel, based on an amazing true story that took place in the PHilippines in 1937, where a huge whale shark rescued a 15 year old Filipina who had been lost at sea for 13 days. The adventure is a fascinating account of a truly miraculous tale. In doing research on whale sharks, I came across your paintings and am very impressed by your work. Would you consider allowing me to use your artwork as my cover and/or within the pages of my book? I would give you credit and it might also serve as great advertizing for you as well. I am self-publishing the novel and hope to have it in print this summer. I would appreciate hearing from you at your earliest convenience. Thank you. Nancy (n.lueckhof@gmx.de)
