My 25 years of palaeoart chronology…

Here's Western Interior Seaway mural 3, which I painted in 2021 for the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, USA. Featured are a school of Apsopelix fish, Squalicorax battling an octopod, and a Tusoteuthis with blue bioluminescence.

Imprisoned Power

Casually World-Building while I play creative inspiration vids in the background, when suddenly I got hit with this painting: "Imprisoned Power" by Peter Birkhäuser

I'm pretty sure it's just coincidence, but this gave me such "The Pathless" (video game by GiantSquid) vibes. There are enslaved gods that consistently have this red, rampaging storm around them as they violently trample the land as these large, burnt looking monsters who also have glowing yellow-orange eyes. (spoilers for the first boss in the game)

Otis & Peanut by Naseem Hrab (words) and Kelly Collier (drawings). Owlkids, 2023. 9781771474962. 89pp including a recipe for a perfect baked potato at the end. https://www.powells.com/book/-9781771474962?partnerid=34778&p_bt

Rabbits Otis and Peanut have three short adventures that involve getting a haircut, buying a hat, swinging to cheer up, missing friends, and making a house feel like a home. At the heart of everything they do is their friendship and support for each other. This is a quick read that made me smile.

We Have A Playdate by Frank W. Dormer. Amulet, 2021. 9781419752735. 96pp. https://www.powells.com/book/-9781419752735?partnerid=34778&p_bt

Short stories featuring friends Tuna, Margo, and Noodle, plus their new friend Ralph, a bear who is afraid to go down a slide. There's a rampaging robot, the problem of how to keep Noodle (a snake) from flying off a swing, the most bizarre page I've seen in a kid's graphic novel in a while featuring a sculpture/playground toy that's shaped like a duck. So friendly, so strange.

Search for a Giant Squid (Pick Your Path) by Amy Seto Forrester & Andy Chou Musser. Chronicle Books, 2023. 9781797213934. 93pp. including a page of scientists to whom special thanks are given, a list of animals in the book, a glossary, and a bibliography of articles, books, and websites. https://www.powells.com/book/-9781797213934?partnerid=34778&p_bt

I'm a huge fan of great endpapers, and this book starts out by introducing 10 scientists and crew members who are part of the expedition before introducing the giant squid, cephalopods, teuthologists, and other background information. After the research vessel is packed, the adventure begins with the reader choosing a pilot and their submersible before venturing into the deep (at a location also of the reader's choosing). It took me several tries to find the giant squid, and along the way I discovered other animals in the ocean's depths. This book is inspiring and full of science, plus it uses a lot of elements of the comics format. Get this for your elementary school library.

Once more in celebration of 100 years of Walt Disney Studios, watch my OCs haphazardly helm the Nautilus that was made famous in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954)!

P.S. They're not cut out for the job, lol.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology…

Last few pictures of my Western Interior Seaway paintings (2021) for the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, USA. Featured are Squalicorax, Tusoteuthis, and Apsopelix.

When Edith Widder & her team were trying to capture video of giant squid (Architeuthis dux), they lured them in w/a flashing blue light called an “e-jelly”.

A squid glides into frame to investigate the light with their arms. It’s so dark that at the edges of the video, the squid’s body dissolves into the inky blackness. After a few seconds with the e-jelly, the squid retreats and the arms fade from view too.

The tentacle clubs of a giant squid have many suction cups that contain rings of serrated chitin. Those rings of teeth help the squid grip prey. The scars that giant squid leave on sperm whales often come from those rings.

okayyyy also. tagged by @joelletwo for 5 topics i could talk about for an hour with no prep.

now. two things. 1. i have infernal podcast dude energy and could say a lot about nothing. weird trait to have if u dont like talking to people? hard to say. 2. GESTURES AT BLOG. im ALREADY. talking at length abt my beloved shit. so im just ruling out turtles, alien robots, trek, etcetcetc all the shit thats been a main blog topic for the last past. 4 years?

I'm gonna say.... western voice actors? not that i could really. Give a lecture so much as. I'm way more familiar with them that than I am live action actors. And I'm kinda just CONSTANTLY like. Oh you know so and so from every cartoon youve ever fucking seen? And FEEL a real. gap. with people when they dont have a same reference point. probably like how ppl feel with me when i dont know their acting guys jhadbgjfga. Like u can name 5 VAs from ur childhood cartoons/animated movies right? And personal interest like, hey btw u know like the entire cast of tng was in disneys gargoyles? U know keith david can SING? And diego luna? Hey you know about Canadian actors who are in all the dubs and video games and yeah cheap shit? You know Scott McNeil right? You know Ian James Corlett? You know. THE IAN. of being Ian. Hello. is this thing still on?

I really like and care about the topics of education, children's rights and pedagogy? Not academically so much as, personal interest. What seeing very clearly that there was a lot of arbitrary rules that involved things like. The Government. and Systems. as a child does to a motherfucker I guess? I'm always INTERESTED in a discussion about it, is how i mean I guess. Like focuses of multiple intelligence and "applied knowledge" (and short comings there of). I mean long and short of it. Kids are full human beings and until u can grapple with that their feelings and opinions um. Actually matter. I hate you? jdhbgjhdb. And Naturally the world being good for kids has the prerequisite of it not sucking ass for adults too....

UHhhh guh. User design/civil engineering? You'll hear it from me until the day I die, crushed under the tires of a ford f1 giga truck with the LED 20million watt bulbs. PROTECTED BIKE LANES. for the love of god. I just know a lot of designers I guess and like engineering, conceptually. But like, u know that famous bridge everyone crashes into. If theres 80million warning signs and people are still crashing... maybe theres. other factors. Or you know ofc like, traffic planning, vehicle accidents, structural disasters. A lot of them are not just. Things happening. Tragedies. There's politics there. Usually a lot of Money stuff. and structural racism. The real reason your fridge is full is that there's a bunch of half empty condiment jars hiding all your forgotten left overs. And widening the roads isnt gonna do shit for traffic.

Jackass entry: Themes and motifs of anyyytthing ive watched with another person or saw, and like they also know it. I realllly like, visual theming and narrative shorthands. Anything that breaks like, maybe people in this setting dont have the same customs, but their gonna do something so you the audience can recognize it. Non literal/accurate use of colour and lighting, for mood and clarity. Breaking the physical shape and scale of things so they can appear and be readable on screen. COSTUMING COSTUMING COSTUMING. A well styled character can do soooo much for your understanding of a work, especially with large casts, and a poorly styled one can take me right out. Well. anyway. yes i love animation u all knew that.

uhhhhh Thatgamecompany/giantsquids studio. im giving myself a free space. lol technically I DO. blog about this. the music. at least. BUT beloved. games. Me and everyone else I guess. Hey speaking of u know its laura bailey and troy baker as the voices in the pathless? And you know how a lot of the games have themes of coming into being/growing/rebirth. And LOTS of environmentalism. And implied cultural world building, and wordless stories. and beautiful metaphor rich otherworldly visuals. and gameplay styles that really connect with the emotional story their going for. and ofc, the music. oh the leit motifs. well. there u go. sword of the sea when?

tagginggg. uh did anyone get @deadgrantaires or @army-of-bee-assassins yet? anyone elseeee who wants to regale me with things they knowww about. id love to know.
