Crop from the illustrated case cover of the graphic novel LU AND REN'S GUIDE TO GEOZOOLOGY. Two girls look upwards into a pastel lavender-pink sky. Above them, a school of gigantic sunfish float in front of the sun.

Saw @annfryillu.bsky.social and @lollibeepop.bsky.social's delightful Big Sunfish illustrations and had to add to the sunfish love!! They're just silhouettes here but trust me, they're Big. They cause sunfish eclipses.

Illustration of a sunfish (also known as a Mola Mola) floating above an aerial view of some farm lands. A plane flies next to the fish, really putting into perspective of just how large the sunfish really is.

I think that if sunfish could, the would be sunbathing in the sky ☁️

Illustration of a giant sunfish with islands around him and also growing on him

Very inspired by @annfryillu.bsky.social 's recent drawing of a sunfish! Had to draw big guy. What's he doing? What's he thinking about? Probably jellyfish.

A herd of horses made of clouds race through the sky, kicking up a storm in their wake. Two girls, completely dwarfed by the cloud-horses, watch the herd from a safe distance. The scene is rendered in a painterly style, with desaturated purples and bright yellow highlights as the dominant colors.

Happy lunar new year! 🐎

“Equus zephyrus, more commonly known as the draft horse, frequently graces the skies above the Luvial Flats. Equus zephyrus herds are known for kicking up storms, leaving a thick blanket of nimbostratus clouds in their wake. Though individual Equus zephyrus herds have well-defined ranges, their impulsive nature makes it nearly impossible to predict their movements. A sunny day in Equus zephyrus territory can suddenly and unexpectedly turn into an overcast one, or even a downpour.”

yes I know this year's element is fire but I wanted to continue my Geozoology-themed lunar new year illustration series

It was a bit of an adventure finding out about this, since the winners & honors are announced on a Youtube stream and I don’t have access while traveling… so I had to learn about it through a combo of friends letting me know and peers congratulating me. I found out after everyone else 😂

Reading a piece on papermaking from the Library of Congress blog and came across this paragraph that manages the fine balance of being both informative and an absolute hoot:

I'd love to participate if you need more creators! I'm a published graphic novelist whose debut MG GN, Lu and Ren's Guide to Geozoology, came out this past May.

the term "content creator" served it's purpose very well. conditioning people into seeing everyone as anyone and everything as anything, mostly among the ruling class who found it most convenient for their pockets. in that sense, generating slop is the final result of content creation
