New Blog: Rigor Vitae

6:00 pm

Wildlife artist Carel Brest van Kempen swung by the Hairy Museum last week and enjoyed it enough to leave a complimentary note in the ol’ suggestion box.

…and I’m glad he did, because otherwise I might never had known that he’s started up a blog full of pithy thoughts on natural history, working as an artist, and the intersection of the two. Take a peek at his work, both visual and verbal, at Rigor Vitae: Life Unyielding.

Uintatherium
A whole slew of new illustrations, sculptures, and models are online at the newly revamped Staab Studios website. Gary Staab is a talented artist with a real knack for restoring unusual animals, like this expressive uintathere he created for the Utah Field House of Natural History.
