TITLE: Futurilogical Primer (Agouti to Zebra)
DATE: 2002
MEDIA: pencil and ink on graph paper
Taking 18th century taxonomies of natural history into my own hands, I redrew all the animals from a collection of early zoology books, adding in the appropriate tech, aerospace, and communication gear. The creatures are thus prepared for the new millenia. The title is an homage to Stanislaw Lem, a consumately droll science fiction writer.
