Porbeagle Shark Jack Packer | Giclée print The Porbeagle Shark is considered to be relatively shy, rarely being seen, and spending time close to the shore and amongst kelp forests. Kelp forests have always interested me because of their density, broad ecosystems, and otherworldly quality. It was an easy choice to illustrate the Porbeagle Shark above these dense areas searching for prey. After studying this shark for the past few months I’ve grown an appreciation for it, which is why it saddens me to know, like many sharks, that it is vulnerable to extinction due to being hunted for its meat and fins.

JACK PACKER I am a graduate of Arts University Plymouth where I studied BA (Hons) Illustration. Initially working in traditional mediums creating detailed line art, I later transitioned to digital painting. I now explore ideas of nature and horror through outputs like book covers, concept art, and more.
