🦪 The Journal of the Linnean Society of London London: Academic Press [etc.], 1865-1968. Original source Image description: Illustration from an 1865 scientific journal depicting detailed, labeled black-and-white line drawings of various mollusk shells from Torres Straits. The shells vary in shape and texture, including rounded, oval, and fan-like forms with ribbed, smooth, or scalloped surfaces. Some shells are shown whole, others are displayed in cross-section or open views, highlighting internal features. Scale bars accompany most specimens to indicate size. The page includes scientific labels and numbering for reference, along with the names Melvill & Standen, and publication details from the Linnean Society Journal of Zoology. The artwork emphasizes the morphological diversity of molluscan shells.

1990′s video store aesthetics in The Watermelon Woman (1996), written, directed, starring, and edited by Cheryl Dunye. 

“Writer-director Cheryl Dunye’s debut feature centers on video store clerk-cum-documentarian Cheryl and her obsessive quest to unearth the forgotten contributions of African American women throughout cinematic history. Intent on creating a perennial work that would surpass the magical, democratized moment of mid-‘90s prosumer video-making, Dunye imbues The Watermelon Woman, the first feature-length film directed by a Black lesbian, with a crystal clear mission: to tell those stories that have never been told.” 

From what I can tell, this film didn’t have an official production designer. Cheryl Dunye presumably did that work herself, along with writing, directing, and editing the film. After all, she made this film on a budget of only $300,000! But I did find that Sharon Potts was the props master. If anyone knows more about the crew for this film, send me resources!
