Just woke up from a social media pause and the first thing I see is an incredible footage of a sperm whale casually cruising with a giant squid in its mouth ??

Vertical photo of a sperm whale with a giant squid in its mouth. The tentacles and body of the squid can be seen emerging between the teeth. Ventral view of the same scene : a sperm whale with a giant squid in its mouth. The tentacles and body of the squid can be seen emerging between the teeth.

A black and white ink drawing of a woman in a long gown pulling down a veil over her head. The drawing is, height-wise, shorter than the length of the pen used to ink it.

Poster style color illustration of An Antidote for Strychnine, a song by The Mountain Goats. It's composed of several panels displaying different images based on the song: lab rats, chemicals, fish bones... Green and blue tones predominate, but the band's name and the song title are written in yellow. Color illustration of a gas filled armored being. The armor is translucent in parts on the limbs and their spherical head, where said gas can be seen. Color illustration of a sailboat with solar sails. The hull is painted white and red, and technical data about it can be seen on the top left corner. Color illustration, in greenish tones, of Rana temporaria tadpoles swimming on a puddle that has formed over a concrete floor. The shadow of some off-canvas dandelions can be seen too.

Yesterday was the 50th anniversary of Jaws

🩸🦈I made a list to score, with 13 levels of stereotypes about sharks, I hope it is useful for those who want to create works beyond the fear ingrained by Jaws and seek new creative representations of sharks.

#shark #jaws #jaws50thanniversary #jaws50
After noticing patterns over the years, I created this list with 13 points to score the level of stereotypes about sharks present in a work. I believe that most of these stereotypes have their main origin in the film Jaws (1975). With the scarcity of works that explore other creative approaches to sharks, beyond the “man-eating ” narrative, Jaws ended up consolidating itself as the greatest source of inspiration and creative reference for many productions to this day. This was called “The Jaws Effect”. I've noticed that certain patterns in the creative world repeat themselves to the point of being tedious, which bothers me. Not because they're bad, but because in many cases they're harmful. With these points, I hope to show sharks in a new light.

The plan was to steadily draw them as they grow up but that idea crumbled due to the puppies waking up at 2:00 am every night and so I couldn't either sleep well for a while or be a moderately functioning human being during the day. Here's a recent one tho!

It makes me genuinely emotional that animals like to play, that play is kind of inherent to life.
