Ernst Haeckel Illustations

Illustrations taken from the biologist Ernst Haeckel book Artforms of Nature. 


Bon Iver - Skinny Love

I had heard Birdy's version of this song and had never realized it was a cover until just now. It's a beautiful song.

Progress



Pixelated animals turned in to origami boxes.

 Antarctica ice mold melted it was filled with a mix of soy sauce and water.



Worn project, we had to create something to wear. I created a hat using Papier Machie and covered it with foliage. I also covered a mask with foliage to go along with it.

Pixelation

From working with the 100 endangered species list, I have now progressed on to photo manipulation, so that each pixel in the image represents one of that species. E.g. Sumatran Rhino's Population is <250 therefore by using photoshop's pixelation tool it consist of 250 cells, that look like pixels.

I have used this beautiful image of a Sumatran Rhino with their calf from Flickr under the Creative Commons licence. Original photograph is by user wAlanb. Alan Baker.
