Two Purple-Striped Jellyfish, chrysaora colorata, cavorting and tieing themselves into a knot. These two live at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Julie Packard's gift to humanity. 

Jellyfish are an ideal airbrush subject: translucent, with no fur, scales, or hair. The long frilly tentacles were painted individually, using the airbrush to add titanium white in thin layers for a near-transparent effect.
