While their preppy brethren are often adorable (as evident here, here, here and here,) I've found myself rather smitten with more nautical and slightly serious portrayals of whales.

I've had a crush on this sweet guy for months now; I think what I adore most are his little teeth! With a $12,000 price tag, this antique weathervane won't be mine, but I do hope he finds a very happy home.
Also, for some whale artwork that would look perfectly at home in a little boy's bedroom, look here and here.
