I based this seahorse design on a Dutch 17th century </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ornamental style referred to as the auricular or Kwab style.</div>

The most famous example is this 1614 <a href="https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/nl/rijksstudio/kunstenaars/adam-van-vianen/objecten#/BK-1976-75,0">ewer by Adam van Vianen</a>:</div>

There was an exhibition about <a href="https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/kwab">Kwab</a> at the Rijksmuseum in 2018,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and an associated symposium, during which I drew the seahorse.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Kwab is very melty and bodily. It's basically 17th century</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://www.hrgiger.com/">H.R.Giger</a> w/ a hint of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaxgO1gTDiA">Cronenberg</a>, but prettier.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Still, lots of bodily forms, some pretty sexually charged,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
some very sea creature-y, others kind of demonic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>

The Saiga Antelope<br />

After an absurdly long hiatus (4 years, actually... I've<br />
been getting a PhD man, back off!), I drew this HQ:<br />

Sorry again for a long absence!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I never ended up posting my final prints from the Lithography class, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the culmination of the Seven Wonders project. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here they are; not the best photographs. I had hoped to take better ones </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but never got the chance, so this is what you get:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHQ9H5stdVkAxvX_W50dNBE3p1Lp2ubWimLAAc-HqSzru0nJwgiEnWRlk4aHcxTAgzllyEfGeScO2jf-TdWS2nEJzTAIVwuwfmDukxK8vCKm-DdRmlR8NCKepHZoXDltU2GTb8VRuIGqI/s1600/IMG_1180.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHQ9H5stdVkAxvX_W50dNBE3p1Lp2ubWimLAAc-HqSzru0nJwgiEnWRlk4aHcxTAgzllyEfGeScO2jf-TdWS2nEJzTAIVwuwfmDukxK8vCKm-DdRmlR8NCKepHZoXDltU2GTb8VRuIGqI/s320/IMG_1180.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pretty happy with these. Background is a little bland on both, and in retrospect </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I should have taken the time to add some clouds or something. Alas...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2hvMrPHjyIE8YVQHLUMwGJeLRXBZU036ja2ZIrqfPswrShJDNgoYdi6d_f4ENLD7DjLqgEZWlehsWEK1kZh-cIYgIpXBvcd-FYVLKYmFsVyPQvbHcVRgwDzxXXFE-UvXAofow9M7deg0/s1600/IMG_1179.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2hvMrPHjyIE8YVQHLUMwGJeLRXBZU036ja2ZIrqfPswrShJDNgoYdi6d_f4ENLD7DjLqgEZWlehsWEK1kZh-cIYgIpXBvcd-FYVLKYmFsVyPQvbHcVRgwDzxXXFE-UvXAofow9M7deg0/s320/IMG_1179.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I definitely feel like this is the stronger of the two. Again, background would</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
be improved with some addition of clouds, or maybe a sun or moon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am very happy, though, with the tiny dolphin at the center of the print! Adorbs!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Sorry to have been absent as of late.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have not been idle, though.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been posting to a Tumblr for a stone lithography class,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in which I am currently enrolled.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The class is coming to an end, but I have been doing prints</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
related to the Seven Wonders project, finally being realized.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
See progress on that here:</div>

For those who want explication, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CatDog" target="_blank">CatDog</a> was a show on </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nickelodeon that ran during the end of the 90s into the 00s.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was about a cat and dog attached at the abdomen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Many people wondered how they pooped.<br />

In an attempt to get better with portraits, I decided I would </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
do drawings of everyone who has EGOT'd. So here is that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did two of these in Paris.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYaRAOG5xbActk7h0tgX4gIs0LbWpsmpPVpGc3exqAMpdKWknJg0vAMP0t5MY_WzV4FlkFQiFYpR9bGBlzFXBk3jQ9vTIIkVNWVotI71z1j_DkD-spNQA-J6iDbAGgrraUaFFTA-OHb40/s1600/EGOT2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYaRAOG5xbActk7h0tgX4gIs0LbWpsmpPVpGc3exqAMpdKWknJg0vAMP0t5MY_WzV4FlkFQiFYpR9bGBlzFXBk3jQ9vTIIkVNWVotI71z1j_DkD-spNQA-J6iDbAGgrraUaFFTA-OHb40/s1600/EGOT2.jpg" height="235" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not a great drawings, but I guess the point is to get better.<br />
<br />
Marvin Hamlisch<br />
Emmy - 1995<br />
Grammy - 1974<br />
Oscar - 1973<br />
Tony - 1976<br />
<br />
Dude also won a Pulitzer Prize. Not bad. Not bad at all.</div>

Explanation: So I approached this drawing thinking about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%BCrer's_Rhinoceros" target="_blank">Dürer's ever-present rhinoceros</a>. Dürer's rhino is a landmark in the history of art and – more importantly for me – in the history of printmaking. Perhaps more broadly, it is a landmark in the history of science and knowledge. It accordingly serves as the cover illustration of Susan Dackerman's exhibition catalogue <i><a href="http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2011/09/when-art-wed-science/" target="_blank">Prints and the Pursuit of Knowledge</a></i>. I take this print as a teaching point every time I talk about the history of prints and the power of images, especially in terms of multiples. </div>

It remains the quintessential image of a rhinoceros. Despite its inaccuracies, this image was powerful enough to shape the very idea of 'rhinocerosness' for hundreds of years after its production. One can read the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%BCrer's_Rhinoceros" target="_blank">wikipedia article</a> (yes, it has its own article) for the whole story, but suffice it to say that this image – apart from looking super cool – changed the history of art, science, and knowledge itself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And it is still effecting images of rhinos, and artists interested in interpreting Dürer's work in countless ways:</div>

<a href="http://www.dynoxicon.de/duerer-cartoons/rhinocerus-holzschnitt-duerer-cartoon" target="_blank">Another reimagining, this one with extended neck.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I thus knew that I too would pay homage to Dürer. I first considered showing a more realistic rhinoceros removing the armor plates that Dürer has applied, as if he were wearing a suit of armor. <a href="http://tanyuga.blogspot.fr/2012/01/rhinoceros-and-other-fantastic.html" target="_blank">This website</a> is pretty exciting in showing the armor in its constituent parts. I then was thinking about more anthropomorphic rhinoceroses, and remembered <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bebop_and_Rocksteady" target="_blank">Rocksteady, the constant companion of Bepop,</a> from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I remember him from the cartoon, but it occurs to me that I might have had his action figure as well. I can't remember for sure.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130919124448/tmnt/images/2/27/Rocksteady_fw.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130919124448/tmnt/images/2/27/Rocksteady_fw.png" height="320" width="254" /></a></div>
Rocksteady (via TMNTpedia)<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I sketched out the body first on paper, then traced it onto the wacom tablet, giving me a basic outline. Since it was a sketch, at this point I hadn't added any of the clothes, but he was posed holding the gun. Then I started adding skin textures. Eventually, I had added textures to the whole thing, but hadn't added the clothes yet. This was more or less the third image posted above. At that point, I knew I wanted to post a version with all the textures visible, but the gun felt too violent, especially given what happens to rhinos in the wild, and other issues with guns happening right now in America. So I added the "Bang" to neutralize that. But it wasn't enough. I forgot about it and moved on to adding the clothes, which went well. I didn't go as far as giving him cargo pants and combat boots, but I still think it reads as Rocksteady without those, especially with the dangling turtle shell at his hips (what was that all about anyways?). Anyways, after having completed the full Rocksteady outfit, I decided to return and remove the gun (first image). It results in a somewhat awkward stance, but I am glad I did it. It is better than a rhino holding a gun for no reason. The monogram was added last, obviously inspired by / derived from Dürer's own. I also briefly considered adding a version of the Dürer rhino as a Judoon soldier from Doctor Who, but decided it would be too much work, and would cover up all the exciting textures anyways. So alas, no Judoon.<br />

So as I mentioned yesterday, this is one of a series of three drawings</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of forest creatures on different sorts of vessels (plane, submarine, boat).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was originally going to be a space ship, but I liked it as a sub better</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because I could fill it with more animals. But the raccoon is still kind of </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
floating in the way he did in my space ship sketches. The More You Know.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did make one noticeable change in the actual drawing where I moved</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the spotlight not he ground so that it lined up better. Cheating happens.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So this drawing and tomorrows – the raccoon (as well as the squirrel) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
– were done in 2011 and 2012 as gifts for my girlfriend at the time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They form a series of forest animals in different ships of sorts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thus, they do not have the requisite "fig..." labels. But I colored them</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for the purpose of putting them up for Animalia. It is also why the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
animals are kind of secondary to the larger narrative of the image.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In any case, I really like how these turned out, hope you do too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Strangely enough, they will be getting posted in the opposite order</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that they were made. So the squirrel, which won't be up for months,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
was actually done in early 2011, with the others done in 2012.</div>

Devonian period jawless fish with a hard shell front half.<br />
I'm not really sure how its mouth works.<br />
<br />
Also, I rediscovered some texture brushes I used to use,<br />
and so you will be seeing some of those in the next few.<br />
Also, I am pretty proud of the water texture, which was<br />
done with a regular brush at low opacity, and then filtered<br />
with blur and sharpness until it looked as it does here.<br />
Surprisingly successful in its verisimilitude.<br />
