Scientists say sharks and rays are disappearing from the world's oceans at an "alarming" rate. The number of sharks found in the open oceans has plunged by 71% over half a century, mainly due to overfishing, according to a new study. Three- quarters of the species studied are now threatened with extinction.
Andre Miripolsky is a Los Angeles artist that pays tribute to Hollywood with the sunglasses and the idea of swimming with the sharks in Hollywood. Miripolsky’s career began with the design of Elton John’s piano jacket in 1980, and is best known for his “Fear No Art” button, the Miripolsky Barbie and Absolut Vodka illustrations. He also held the longest running stint painting the backdrops for the “Tonight Show” hosted by Jay Leno.
