The comedic characters of Sad Fish™ are uplifting, but they also disguise a grim aspect of existence. Sad Fish™ is more than Carolyn Belefski’s artwork, it’s a credence, a mindset, an anthem. If you woke up breathing, then you have more life to live. Sad Fish™ is about enjoying your time and the struggles, melancholy, and hope that comes with staying alive.

After drawing Sad Fish™ in sketchbooks for many years, Carolyn first created a five button set that sold well at comic conventions. In early 2018, Carolyn was inspired by the Make 100 incentive to create 100 different character designs and produce a Sad Fish™ menagerie for a limited edition book.
