"Kiger Mustang"

A bit of a throwback drawing to show you all (sorry that the quality isn't the best it can be). Drawing is directly inspired from old western drawings and paintings!

Enjoy and share! :)

Pizza Pita? Pita Pizza?

I live in a dorm with only a microwave to cook with, so I have to get creative. My new favorite thing is to take a pita loaf (is that the right terminology? you know what I mean), spread some tomato sauce on it, sprinkle some shredded mozzarella on there, plus toppings if you’re into that, and microwave it for about a minute. The result is pretty great, for a simple microwave meal!

Images from the production of “World’s Collide” for Panama’s new national natural history and science center, the Bio Museo….. The exhibit covers the interchange of animal species that occurred between North and South America when the Panamanian land bridge was exposed, joining the two continents.

Of all of the organisms I have illustrated, the anteater is the one I’ve learned the most about. In order to create the composite of the head, I had to study up on the skeletal and muscular structure. The most useful resources included a paper titled “Morphology, evolution and...

I strongly dislike this, not everything should be about entertainment. David Attenborough thoroughly engaged me in the Natural world as a kid without the need for family friendly bs.

He has been delighting viewers for decades, but it appears that Sir David Attenborough’s style of presenting wildlife programmes has fallen out of favour at the BBC.

The head of the corporation’s Natural History unit has said that when Sir David, 88, eventually retires it will not look to “fill his shoes”.

Instead, Wendy Darke announced that the unit will seek “diverse”, populist presenters on the same wavelength as the audience.

Its newest recruit, Lucy Cooke, an Oxford zoology graduate, has said she aims to bring entertainment and humour to her role, in an attempt to convey her message to as wide an audience as possible.

Cooke, who said she “always thought that you could bring a bit more entertainment to natural history”, added that she intended to use humour to “sugar coat the bitter pill” of her conservation message.

I HATE THIS SHIFT IN NATURAL HISTORY PROGRAMMING TO MAKE IT ALL ABOUT ENTERTAINMENT SO MUCH. Just watching these so-called documentaries is painful.

Sure, have a few programs geared towards that market but why can’t we have the more serious, fact-based natural history programs as well? Not every thing needs to be dumbed down and “sugar-coated”. 

No wonder we live in this Disney-fied society where people don’t have the first clue about the realities of nature.

Just something

It's funny how I connect more with the tribes people that I meet on my travels we have fun and talk. I don't get as much joy when I go back home to my grey world, it's as if the colour is drained totally out of it. I feel like a stranger almost in my own time, when I was a young kid I taught myself to read and write in hieroglyphs as well as to speak fluent now sadly dead languages. No idea why... Maybe it's because I was desperate to seek out some familiarity.
