TITLE: Futurilogical Primer (Agouti to Zebra)
DATE: 2002
MEDIA: ink, graphite, soy sauce, dirt and powdered milk on graph paper
DESCRIPTION:

Taking 17th century taxonomies of natural history into my own hands, I re-drew all the animals from a collection of early zoology books, adding in the appropriate tech gear, aerospace and communication gadgetry, and sexual paraphenalia.

The creatures are thus prepared for the new millenia.

It is also an homage to Stanislaw Lem, a Czech science fiction author who's writing has been a continuing inspiration to me.
