Kit Mizeres is an American artist and illustrator with no fixed abode. She initially hailed from a small wintery town in Ohio, and then went on to graduate from the Columbus College of Art and Design with a focus on Illustration in 2016. Since then, she has enjoyed taking her sweet time living on the road as she continues to collect and draw inspiration from her new and ever-changing surroundings, as well as the wonderful strangers she has met along the way. Her work often takes on a very maximalist, dreamlike approach that heavily incorporates themes of folklore and personal mythology.

Shadows are not always black!

Shadows are absolutely fascinating to play around with.

In this Exploratorium demonstration you can see that a black shadow is only a subset of shadows that can be formed on the screen.

If you have multiple sources of light with different colors, then you can additively combine colors to get shadows of various shades.

In this case where you have multiple sources of light, only when the object blocks off light from all three colored light sources do you get a black shadow.

Since we do not deal with multiple colored sources of light on a daily basis, go ahead, give this simple experiment a try. It’s totally worth it!

Have a good one!

There absolutely were giant beavers!

Let me introduce you to Castoroides:

Giant Pleistocene Beaver, Castoroides ohioensis by Ryan Somma || CC BY 2.0

About the size of a black bear, around 2m long (6′6″), these huge beavers lived in North America between about 3 million years ago and 10,000 years ago. They weren’t the direct ancestors of modern beavers, but were instead more like evolutionary cousins to them.

Although their teeth were enormous, the chunky shape of their incisors wasn’t actually very good for chewing through tough wood and it’s not entirely clear whether they felled trees like their modern cousins. However, remains of a possible giant beaver lodge have been reported in Ohio, and an older close relative called Dipoides seems to have built dams, so it’s at least likely Castoroides did something similar too.

But the beaver family dates back over 30 million years, and there were plenty of other species in their lineage. Some of them didn’t even swim, and instead built strange spiral burrows deep into the ground…

Artist Valeria Prieto Composes Beautiful Illustrations on Fallen Autumn Leaves

Inspired by autumn’s fallen leaves, Iowa based artist Valeria Prieto has composed a collection of drawings of dry leaves. She confesses to Bored Panda: “Since childhood, I am in love with nature and I love to keep nature pressed in books. This time I wanted to go beyond, when I was walking around the new neighborhood I found so many big leaves, so I started to collect leaves during autumn, and suddenly I started to paint on them.

I work with acrylics and ink on the dry leaves.

I love the idea of keeping nature as art and preserve nature giving it a second chance to live.” Get them here!
