Have you heard of the rule of threes? Okay, good. So have I and so have the other two Pacific Northwest creatures I illustrated this year, so they demanded a third. And here you have it, a three-colored orca who has places to be.

The spawning season for chinook salmon isn’t for another six months, but I couldn’t wait to birth my own salmon creation. So here ya go! I used a simple three color pallet (cyan, magenta & yellow) multiplied together—which I’ve always been a big fan of because you then get a total of seven colors as they blend together in different combinations. So something that’s pretty simple and basic can become more dynamic depending on how you overlap the three layers, akin to screen printing.
