Paleoart Hairball
10:55 pm
Another patented HMNH hairball: a loose collection of threads from around the web, thoroughly chewed over and regurgitated here for your browsing pleasure. This time around: Paleontology and art.
Dan Varner, always looking out for the artists (and a masterful painter in his own right), recently shared a couple great links with the Dinosaur Mailing List:
- stills from a film of the prolific Zdenek Burian working on hominids and iguanodonts
- scans from an 1897 issue of The Century Quarterly, with two excellent articles featuring early paintings by the precocious Charles Knight.
Over at Bibliodyssey, PK takes a look at a less noble (though still impressively executed) form of fossil-based art: The Lying Stones of Johann Beringer.
El Paleofreak points to a growing collection of paleontology and evolution-themed videos on YouTube.
And be sure to check out the nifty Hallucigenia logo they’re using over at Ediacara Studio. Yes, it is probably upside-down and technically from the Cambrian, but I guess that’s why it looks so confused (via Drawn!).
