At today’s SUMMER CRUISE program, children learned about the history of scrimshaw. Then they created their own scrimshaw designs, but instead of using whale bones and teeth, they used candles and paint!
BTW, I generally don’t have a lot to do with children’s programs, but when I heard about this idea, I suggested that maybe they could listen to some sea shanties while they were working on their candles. One Spotify playlist later, and it was a reality! So while you’re looking at these pictures, just imagine that sea shanties are being sung in the background.

South Srimshaw by N.O Marsh
(Please click images to stare at it more, it’s very pretty)
South Scrimshaw is the story of a newborn whale in a vast alien ocean. It is a richly illustrated experimental visual novel, written in the style of a nature documentary.
A story drawn gorgeously in watercolours and digital art from the view of researchers studying whales. This part follows the growth of a whale pup from birth to adolescence. Although it’s in a documentary format it has a more personal feel to it as it follows the whale pup’s emotions closely.
It’s all speculative biology and I love it. It’s like watching nature documentaries as a kid again. I swear we need more of these.
Surprisingly this thing is entirely free on Itch.io or on Steam.
Maybe buy them a Coffee if you like their content?
There’s a second part with 4 more chapters in the works :)
