    We all know the skulldugery is to be had in the Indian Ocean. This is strange, but I totally hear sound looking between the two images. Nice jump cut, man.

    I'm going to go with Arctic Ocean just because I like the way the word arctic sounds. Really hope I win this one as I've been eyeing that drawing when it was on your etsy page!

  8. I love the Atlantic Ocean. I was looking at it this morning :)

  9. I like oceans. I think I like the way Pacific sounds, but I've only ever been to the Atlantic. The Mediterranean is an awesome name if only it was an ocean!

    Hope that the science partner has recovered from the initial shock of today's subject.

  10. North sea. Pretty cold and stormy. Good for weltschmerz.
    Your gifts are getting better and better! What can we expect for tomorrow?!

  11. Both of these are awesome. The print reminds me of Van Gogh's "Man with Poplars."

  12. Nice work, Godbey!
    My ULTIMATE favorite body of water is THE RED SEA.

  13. I love all the oceans. Don't think I could pick a favorite, there are too many great things about each of them.

    ReplyDelete

  19. I like the Atlantic, more specifically, the Gulf of Mexico. If it's possible to fall in love with a place, I have... on the Island, Isla Mujeres off the tip of Mexico.

    Enjoying your work!

  20. This is for my daughter.

    Love your blog!

  21. Another great give away... and your cat is too funny!

    Not a big ocean fan either, but I've always wanted to meet a real live polar bear, so I will say the Arctic.

    ReplyDelete
  22. these are beautiful! i've also been following your blog for quite some time. your art stirs something deep within me:)

  23. The Atlantic is fantastic

    ReplyDelete
  24. I've got to give it up to the Atlantic, because I live on the east coast of the US and it's always been there for me.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Love your stuff! Following everything you are working on... Ticket has got to be the best book I've purchased in years, and your Terrible Yellow Eyes blog was truly inspiring!

    Keep up the fantastic work!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Arden needs this in her nursery. Think of my child, Cory....

    Anyway, my favorite ocean today is the Pacific because I'm currently staring out my window at it and man, is it gorgeous: grey with just the right amount of fog and giant, angry waves crashing on the rocks down at the point.

  27. Oh awesome!

  28. it occurred to me that the animals are swimming around in the water in the oceans in our bodies and another had been found another ocean on the planet given that our blood is just like the Atlantic
    And how

    I love this drawing!

  29. I like the Pacific Ocean. :)

    I've been a regular reader of your blog, and I just have to say that your work is just wonderful. Keep up the lovely work.

  30. I have lived long in Tenerife (Canary Islands) and I must say that the cold water of the Atlantic Ocean revives the dead...

    I love the water there.

  34. Long time lurker, first time poster :) Really enjoy your artwork, very inspiring!

    My favorite ocean would be the Pacific, for all its vastness and mystery. If it could be any body of water, i'd have to say the Mediterranean. Clear turquoise waters, beautiful marine life, gorgeous beaches... aaaah why is it still winter????

    ReplyDelete
  35. Pacific...but it's the only one I've ever met.

    Great work. I love it.

    ReplyDelete

  39. Ohhh I love your Grimm illustrations, so I'm emerging from lurk-dom and leaving a comment. Favorite ocean... I suppose Atlantic, but if i were to expand and consider seas as well, I'd say Mediterranean. :)

    Ok, so I was all excited because I didn't see any posts on your blog. I thought SWEET, I'll definitely win this one... which was so cool because I think this one is awesome. Aaand then I realized I was on your FB account.

    But anyway, thanks for doing this. It just makes me happy. *crossing fingers, hoping I'll win*

    I love the Atlantic Ocean. Especially around the Caribbean, where the water is crystal clear. :D

    ReplyDelete
  51. This is a sweet one! I'll have to say the Indian Ocean.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Hm, I think I'd like the Indian Ocean the best, but I've never seen it. :-) Come to think of it, I've only seen the Atlantic from 30,000 feet (or so).

    I love your work! I have several prints from your Grimm collection, but not Ivan and the Firebird... (So maybe it's not fair that I'm entering?)

    Are you planning to sell prints of your Mario pieces? I love 'em!!

    I am a fan of the Southern Ocean, but the Atlantic is home.

  54. I LOVE the Firebird!!!! And if I were randomly selected to be the recipient, I know that Brenna would steal this in a heartbeat and put it in a place of honor in her room. Btw, my favorite ocean is the Pacific.
