Illustrator Armando Veve was asked by The New Yorker to create the art to accompany their article ‘A Whale’s Afterlife.’ The story follows marine biologists studying a whale carcass on the seafloor as it slowly becomes a temporary oasis for the creatures who dwell in the ocean depths.

As usual, Armando spoils his viewers with meticulously placed details throughout his work. Enjoy a few of our favorites below!
