Butanding fashionista SPOTTED, with a SPLASH of color!

William the Whale Shark is the mascot of AteneoBOx, a student organization that supports biodiversity awareness and animal welfare.

Their Ocean’s Week campaign involves community engagement between Ateneo students, faculty, and Bantay Dagat communities in Calatagan, Batangas.

Support Ateneo Biological Organization (BOx) and the Calatagan Reef Patrollers Volunteers for their Ocean’s Week, and beyond!

Meet William the Whale Shark! 

Students at Ateneo Biological Organization (BOx) asked for my own rendition of their mascot, an adorable whale shark that wears glasses and features a bright, attractive color palette. 

I added a "neck tie" hich also happens to be a pink remora fish (pink remoras don't exist, but in my mind).

They also wanted whaleshark puns, since I am in fact renowned in three barangays in the Philippines, and 1.5 shires here in the UK, as a Tito Joke Bloke (TJB).

This April they worked with a Bantay Dagat community in Calatagan, Batangas, and gave children activity kits that included free printables I made at @philippinewildlifeart. I'm happy I can still make people smile (or cringe) from abroad, but I do miss being there in person.
