Save the Sharks

Hi, my name is J Tea and am the owner & artist of Pocket Sushi. I am also a shark fan and advocate. A recent customer experience that made me really uncomfortable regarding the wellness of sharks inspired me to become involved in the fight for ocean life conservation.

Let me introduce you to Derpy Shark. It's an illustration I randomly made some years ago and it's kind of famous. You probably stumbled upon it once or twice while browsing the internet, or perhaps have even seen it being sold illegally on T-shirts at a particular chain aquarium's gift shop. I sell this design myself as a charm, enamel pin, & vinyl sticker and it is currently my most popular design.

10% of the sale from each item featuring this doofy fish will go towards donations (rounded up) to Project AWARE Foundation, a non-profit organization that is working to protect the ocean & its inhabitants—specifically, sharks & rays—through education & cleaning efforts.

Donations are done quarterly (every three months). Below are the screenshots for purchase & donation receipts (personal information has been censored). These records are manually updated, so please allow a bit of time for the latest information to appear!
