Animal of the Day!

Dodo (Raphus cucullatus)

(Photo from Smithsonian Magazine)

Extinction Date- 1681

Habitat- Island of Mauritius

Size (Weight/Length)- 22 kg; 90 cm tall

Diet- Fruits; Nuts; Roots; Seeds

Cool Facts- As dodos went extinct in the 1600’s, we only know what they look like from incomplete skeletons and illustrations. These large birds were found only on the tiny Island of Mauritius off the coast of Madagascar. Little is known about their behavior but their skeletons imply they could run extremely fast despite being unable to fly. Their large beak may have been used in territorial displays due to the Island’s limited resources. They were primarily vegetarians but would occasionally eat a crab or shellfish. People first visited the Island of Mauritius in 1507 and the dodos were quickly hunted by people and invasive species alike due to their flightless and fearless behavior. Today, the near threatened Nicobar pigeon is their closest relative. Cracking down on the illegal pet trade and their illegal poaching has resulted in the Nicobar pigeon doing much better than their long since passed relative.

Rating- 13/10 (Dodos were originally thought to be a myth and extinction to be propaganda.)

✨Mutation March, Day 2: A FLIGHTLESS BIRD✨

What if an ostrich was all leg?

What if an ostrich was no leg?

What if you were hungry? Would you like a dodonut?

Or would you prefer an avocadodo?

What if your friends were expecting a baby and you wanted to send them a greeting card to congratulate them, but you’re all weirdos who like to dramatically say “EGG”?

I wanted to practice drawing some birds. If you guys really like these, I might do more with other kinds of animals. 🐦

More Skull Island monster design sheets. I wish they had been more creative with the names, but I'm loving "Nightboys."

I don’t know what prompted this, but a Christmas dodo, for your enjoyment and mine.

looking at photographs of now-extinct animals fucks me up supremely. like man... this thing must’ve died out less than 300 years ago for us to have pictures of it......... in the grand scheme of things, that’s incredibly recent. and when the last one remained, we couldn’t do anything about it, so we just did the best we could to document it. to make sure the people of the future knew about it, and could maybe prevent further extinctions............. man...................................

A Proverbial Feathursday

The contents and linocuts of Australian artist and fine-press printer Mike Hudson’s (1939-2021) As Dead as the Proverbial… uses the extinct Dodo (Raphus cucullatus), a flightless bird that once inhabited the island of Mauritius, to highlight the fact that in today’s age animals are still going extinct. The book consists of a variety of writings, from encyclopedia entries and magazine articles to the author’s own musings about the fate of the Dodo. In a progressive countdown, we see the bird's life cycle that is also representative of its approach toward extinction, as it progresses from a simple egg on the title page, loses feathers, and eventually becomes a singular feather.

The book’s title references the proverb: ‘as dead as a dodo bird’ and the title on the book's cover is surrounded by the names of Australian animals that are also at risk of extinction and could soon become the object of their own proverb. The endpapers include the names of other endangered Australian species, to further emphasize the potential for not just one animal like the Dodo to go extinct, but also countless others.

As Dead as the Proverbial… was printed in 1989 at Mike Hudson's Wayzgoose Press in Katoomba, Australia in an edition of 75 copies signed by the printers. The text was typeset by Hudson's long-time partner Jadwiga Jarvis (1947-2021) in Monotype Baskerville and Times New Roman, and the pages of endangered species set in a variety of Garamond types, all printed on Mohawk Letterpress paper. The design and linocuts are by Hudson. Our copy is from the collection of our late friend Dennis Bayuzick.
