Edward Steed’s “Midnight Bloom”

The cartoonist Edward Steed, originally from the U.K., now lives in Rockaway Beach, Queens, just a short walk from the ocean. “Nothing captures the natural world’s mixture of beauty, danger, and weirdness better than a swarm of jellyfish,” Steed said. “But be careful: smiling jellyfish may not be as friendly as they look.”
