Fishy Island by Erik Johansson
Take a look at the extensive photo manipulation portfolio of Erik Johansson. It’s some of the most visually jarring and peculiar imagery I’ve ever come across. It’s all fake, but it’s done so well that it’s almost believable.
1984 Fish Bowl
August 27, 2009 @ 1:18 am
Fish bowls are usually very public spectacles. They sit out in the open and allow anybody passing by to view the fish and its contents at any time they please. But with the 1984 Fish Bowl from Workshopped, there can now be some privacy for that pet fish you own because this fish bowl features solid white walls and 3 domed windows for you to peer into or for the fish to look out from. A nice twist on the traditional all-glass fish tanks that I’m used to seeing.
Unfortunately, this fish bowl is $430. Yikes.

Richard Chesher’s underwater reef panorama makes me long for another deep-sea dive. It’s been over a year since my last one and I’m itching to strap another oxygen tank to my back and jump into the sea. [via]

This, my friends, is the best McDonald’s commercial to come around in a very long time. I can’t get that jingle out of my head!
Video of a fish with a transparent head

This species of fish is called Macropinna microstoma. It is unique because of its transparent frontal lobe which visibly shows two green spheres acting as a set of tubular eyes. These eyes can rotate a remarkable range allowing the fish to see predators and prey. Scientists at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute liken the transparent dome to the covering of a jet cockpit.
