The Lionfish is a pest in many areas of the world, because it is an invasive species and takes over habitats, ruining things for the native reef fish. However, it is a big flamboyant character, brilliantly coloured, and I was delighted to be asked to make one as a commission. It has everything – colour, stripes, spots, and daft long feathery fins and spines.

He is life-size.
