My 25 years of palaeoart chronology…
Here's Western Interior Seaway mural 3, which I painted in 2021 for the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, USA. Featured are a school of Apsopelix fish, Squalicorax battling an octopod, and a Tusoteuthis with blue bioluminescence.

(Oh they told me alright... I'm glad it ended well for them tho. Something tells me I probably shouldn't complain too much about dealing with the War Machines.)

Couple captures rare footage of a giant squid swimming off the coast of Japan
A pair of scuba divers has captured rare video and photos of a 2.5-meter (eight-foot) giant squid swimming in the waters off Japan's west coast.

Imprisoned Power
Casually World-Building while I play creative inspiration vids in the background, when suddenly I got hit with this painting: "Imprisoned Power" by Peter Birkhäuser
I'm pretty sure it's just coincidence, but this gave me such "The Pathless" (video game by GiantSquid) vibes. There are enslaved gods that consistently have this red, rampaging storm around them as they violently trample the land as these large, burnt looking monsters who also have glowing yellow-orange eyes. (spoilers for the first boss in the game)

The truth is a pathless land.
Otis & Peanut by Naseem Hrab (words) and Kelly Collier (drawings). Owlkids, 2023. 9781771474962. 89pp including a recipe for a perfect baked potato at the end. https://www.powells.com/book/-9781771474962?partnerid=34778&p_bt
Rabbits Otis and Peanut have three short adventures that involve getting a haircut, buying a hat, swinging to cheer up, missing friends, and making a house feel like a home. At the heart of everything they do is their friendship and support for each other. This is a quick read that made me smile.
We Have A Playdate by Frank W. Dormer. Amulet, 2021. 9781419752735. 96pp. https://www.powells.com/book/-9781419752735?partnerid=34778&p_bt
Short stories featuring friends Tuna, Margo, and Noodle, plus their new friend Ralph, a bear who is afraid to go down a slide. There's a rampaging robot, the problem of how to keep Noodle (a snake) from flying off a swing, the most bizarre page I've seen in a kid's graphic novel in a while featuring a sculpture/playground toy that's shaped like a duck. So friendly, so strange.
Search for a Giant Squid (Pick Your Path) by Amy Seto Forrester & Andy Chou Musser. Chronicle Books, 2023. 9781797213934. 93pp. including a page of scientists to whom special thanks are given, a list of animals in the book, a glossary, and a bibliography of articles, books, and websites. https://www.powells.com/book/-9781797213934?partnerid=34778&p_bt
I'm a huge fan of great endpapers, and this book starts out by introducing 10 scientists and crew members who are part of the expedition before introducing the giant squid, cephalopods, teuthologists, and other background information. After the research vessel is packed, the adventure begins with the reader choosing a pilot and their submersible before venturing into the deep (at a location also of the reader's choosing). It took me several tries to find the giant squid, and along the way I discovered other animals in the ocean's depths. This book is inspiring and full of science, plus it uses a lot of elements of the comics format. Get this for your elementary school library.
Prepping for (and participating in) a local single day event yesterday took all of my free time, so no time for sketching!
#Purrmay 's prompts were "Kitten" and "Tentacles" and here's a drawing from last year that actually combines both!
A Squitten, a giant squitty and a Catkin!
Today's prompt is "Shallows" so I'll see what I can do!
