The idea for Orca actually came after I overheard two people have a pretty heated argument. It was a man and a woman, I imagine a couple. I heard the man say, “you can’t just always walk away! People don’t do that to each other. You work things out. The other options after you leave may not be better than what you have.” It was something along those lines. I had been at the beach that weekend and had the ocean on mind. I got this image stick in my head of folks shoving quarters into those viewers they have on the boardwalk, the ones that are like little pay telescopes, that kinda look like faces, so you can try to see dolphins and such out in the water. So, I got this image of people watching this Orca whale out at sea yelling back and forth. The people are the man in the argument, and the Orca the woman. As she swims away everybody, from behind their viewers is yelling at her, “you can’t just swim away!” And she turns around and comes back to argue. Of course she’s a deadly whale, so she attacks in the only way she knows haha. – Brian Raubacher
