Did this illustration for the #InverteFEST Anthology that just got released! It's an illustration for the story "The Potter and Her Prey" that my collaborator Jesse Jing wrote.

Check out the whole anthology for free here. The book features 17 collabs between writers and artists, that all focus on different invertebrates!

Run where they can't follow.

For decades, we've thought that pronghorns evolved for speed because of Miracynonix, or the American cheetah, which preyed on them extensively during the Pleistocene. However, in February, new fossil evidence suggested that ancestors of pronghorns began this process at least 5 million years before the appearance of Miracynonix. We typically think of predators as trailblazers, as shapers of the world -- but don't often consider that it may have been the prey that changed them.

Extinct animals from left to right: Miracynonix trumani, Chasmaporthetes ossifragus, and Titanis walleri

All this discourse over who does "painting with light"

Hiroshi Nagai's paintings need sunglasses to look at.

They look like how it feels to walk across a parking lot on a 98° summer day without a speck of shade in sight.

They look like heaven but also like you'd burn your bare feet on the ground.

Even when you can see shade you know it's not enough and the minute you step out you'll be burnt to a crisp like a vampire.

And it's BEAUTIFUL

I'll throw in the wonderful Eizin Suzuki into this ring too, a man whose work just breathes light without actually using dynamic lighting in the usual way. It's no surprise both Nagai and Suzuki are both considered prolific in art pertaining to the city pop genre because they're able to paint these kinds of scenes with a delicate touch.

This feels like I could trip on that radio and fall right into that water, feeling the crystal waves as I drop in.

And this, a nice stroll down a resort strip, where my sunscreened skin could literally feel cooked if I leaned too close to the tiling.

And then a nice stretch of summer street, wherein you could see your face in the flushed red of that car provided it didn't blind you from its sunny reflections.

I don't think I even need to say anything more, Suzuki's a massive influence in how he even places colours so warmly in such unorthodox manner. It's a naturally sunkissed talent~ 🌊
