Under the Sea, with Tyler Fronson.
imagined by: James Mathias
click above to enlarge.
Tyler Fronson, lives underwater. There are two things Tyler enjoys. Ice Cream, and signs of fish. He talks about these things constantly.
He can often be found carrying ’round a sign with a fish placed on it, and a cone of chocolate ice cream. Fortunately for Tyler, his under sea home is devoid of all the major laws of physics, allowing him the pleasure of enjoying a double dipped cone, deep, deep underwater, without compromising it’s structural and taste integrity, respectively.
Tyler, also owns a cow, but he hardly pays any attention to her, as he is so caught up with signs of fish and cones.
I hope you all enjoy my “Aquatic” illustration for Illustration Friday this week. It was quite fun to draw a fish, in a indirect way.

Can I be overly critical and perhaps a little harsh? (Baby Jack has kept me up for last 4 hours my be nice edge has gone
)
Reminds me distinctly of Spongebob … very unusual for you to pick out and draw something which isnt unique … guess you just spoil us m8y
Cheers

huh? it looks nothing like spongebob… it’s not even the same style. Sorry I don’t mind critiques, but when they are off base, it makes me wonder.

It doesn’t look anything like spongebob! Maybe you’re just a little delirious from lack of sleep. The only connection is that this adorable little guy lives in the ocean.

yeah, and he doesn’t even live in a pineapple, nor is he a sea creature, nor does he work at a hamburger joint, nor does he have a frined who is a star fish, or squirrel.
He doesn’t have a squid as a nemisis.
I really don’t see the connection aside from under sea, and cartoon.

Your water and seaweed designs look dead-on! You always have great art and funny ideas. About the only thing that looks remotely SquareBobish is the socks…
And that’s a real stretch to say that.
Mmmmm. Got any extra icecream, dude ?

Thanks Steve, I knew I was not crazy.
And no I don’t unless of course you don’t mind rice dream?

I like how Tyler’s hair floats in the water. I think he might be related to the fish in his sign, noted similar fin
