it's here !!!1!! i'm so happy and proud to announce that this little critter album is finished. it was a super fun project to work on, and also a very challenging one. i learned a lot in the process: things about our world, about myself as an artist, and of course things about the cambrian and it's creatures.
the cambrian period began ~540 million years ago and lasted ~55 million years. during that time, life forms started to reaaally diversify, and so many interesting looking critters appeared.
and there’s something so captivating about how they look. i find them weird, cute, awesome, and funny all at the same time.
i think it was last year that i discovered my fascination with paleozoic fauna. if i remember correctly, my introduction to it was an anomalocaris meme. i loved that creature so much that i needed to know more about them. and when i did i wanted to start learning more about other creatures.
then at some point i just started drawing them, and later i was so obsessed that i wanted to dedicate an album to them,, and here it is :]
i don’t know, life on earth is such a breathtaking thing and it’s kinda shocking to think about how there were living beings so different from us and so long before us that one day just... disappeared.
and life just kept going. like the whole universe and time and things just started to happen and life appeared and developed and diversified and created so many different things and... and here we are. life led us to this moment. it’s strange, but also beautiful in so many ways.
so i hope u like these prehistoric creatures, and my weird way of appreciating them in the form of art.
immense thanks to everyone who supported me during the making of this project: thanks to my family, my friends, and thanks to you, my awesome and wholesome community... thanks to every bug under the log.
see ya soon 💚🌌
