Clockwork Carnivore (Red EUPARKERIA-TYPE)

RedBubble Stuff by Scott -

The fantastic 60 cm-long clockwork Euparkeria capensis (Parker’s good animal) snacks delicately on a robotic rarity: a Takara-style micro-man from the far future or an alternate dimension or something (also available in blue).

This was created as a mascot for our art show, Archosaurs & Automata held in January of 2013 at Modern Dwellers in Anchorage, Alaska.

Archosaurs & Automata, My 2nd Piece

Coherent Lighthouse -

For the #ArchosaursAndAutomata art show:
A Gloom of Duralumin Dragons.Possibly final! Finished, for sure, or possibly with a few minor revisions in time to print, and certainly not a complete rebrush of the entire sky, sea, and land.

Swamp Dragon - All Yesterdays Contest Entry #1

Raven Amos on DeviantArt -

After much prodding from friends and family, I decided to enter this into the "All Yesterdays" contest, put on by and

Ichthyovenator laosensis - the fish-eating hunter of Laos, known only from a single type specimen found in the Aptian age Grès supérieurs Formation. Siamamia, a Cretaceous cousin of the North American bowfin fish, is known from similarly aged rocks in the Sakon Nakhon Province of Northeastern Thailand.

I have depicted this icthyovenator as having a semi-aquatic lifestyle, cruising the Cretaceous swamps with powerful tail muscles anchored to the large neural spines along its back, hips, and tail.

The New Filament of Coherent Lighthouse…

Coherent Lighthouse -

This is something that's been in the works for a while—a new graphic suitably representative of us:


The 'bug', designed in July 2006.
Previous iterations ranged from clumsy to gruesome.
And it goes along with this:

Logotype, designed and refined in 2010/2011.
The typeface,
Santana, is slightly modified.
The 'gfx' plate element is optional/modifiable.

So why a cube, or a box? Boxes are common motifs in logo design (and some much better than others). I find platonic solids interesting, but I could have gone with any of them. I didn't, because there's a personal reason for choosing it (beyond the obvious implications of a three-dimensional form rendered in two): in 1985, I went to Expo 85 in Tsukuba, Japan.

And they had a 3D theater for the Sumitomo Pavilion, with a magnificent, giant yellow box inset into two mirrored facades, creating the illusion of a complete cube:



Brochure of the pavilion.

I never made it into the theater (the lines every time we went were far too long, and there was a lot to see). But the set up always impressed me.

I've run Coherent Lighthouse since 2004. I think of Cubelight as its filament, something which lights our way.

Conchoraptor gracilis

Raven Amos on DeviantArt -

Painting #1 of a 13-part series - Conchoraptor gracilis representing the astrological symbol of Cancer. In its claws is a hypothetical (imaginary) freshwater hermit crab that has inhabited a Viviparus shell.

This was originally supposed to have a begging Conchoraptor chick and an art-nouveau styled archway with the symbol and dates for Cancer, but time got away from me and I wanted to get it hammered out for my upcoming art show in January, Archosaurs and Automata. I will probably revisit this later with the missing elements.

Nemegt Sunrise

Sunrise over the Nemegt River Basin, Maastrichtian era. The foreground plants are a hypothetical reconstruction of the bennettite cycad Baikalophyllum, with Pseudolarix conifers in the background.

We're One Third the Way There!

Coherent Lighthouse -

Hey, I managed to change the #ArchosaursAndAutomata thumbnail on YouTube! Maybe I should have started out with this, but I was pretty busy when I uploaded it.

Our crowdfunding campaign has just passed the one third mark! There's still two weeks left to contribute to the printing and travel costs (because we live so far from the venue).

Right. Back to painting now.

Trikeratos

From the far future of 65 million years ago comes Trikeratos, the faithful steed of the Tiki Cosmonaut.

Art Show Announcement: Archosaurs & Automata

Coherent Lighthouse -

The Clockwork Carnivore, the show mascot for Archosaurs & Automata. 
It's a sequel of sorts, to our Dinosaurs and Robots show, and it runs during January 2013. We'll be present for the first Friday on the fourth, so if you wanted to see us both, we'll be there.

Funding for the new show has been set into motion: Raven and I started our first crowd sourcing initiative to help fund our next art show, Archosaurs & Automata, to be held at Modern Dwellers Chocolate Lounge in Anchorage, Alaska. Our goal is relatively modest, but if we make it, we can feature a bit more art at the show than we otherwise might, as well as offset some of the cost of time off work, travel to Anchorage from Homer, and the expense of printing.

We think it's very possible to accomplish this. Donations as of this writing have very nearly put us at one quarter of our funding goal, and it hasn't even been a full week yet.

The proprietors of Modern Dwellers told us our show was one of the most successful they'd had. We would like to build upon that success. Indiegogo has all the info for show donations. And you can also follow Raven or myself (@coherent_light) on Twitter for updates.

My Tumblr journal, Cyrillic Typewriter, also has details.
