Hi y'all.
After all this time, I've decided to see if anyone wants to own my scribblings. Check me out here. More art on its way...

day three-hundred-and-sixty-five - ???

a few people have asked me what i was going to draw for the final animal. and i had no idea. i sure wasn't going to put in any extra effort - why should i draw something special? it's just another day. obviously this project comes across as way more meaningful than it is.

but then i had a great idea. until now i have depicted animals i like. why not depict one i hate? i would art-ify the most evil and destructive of all animals...

humans. truly despicable characters.

but then i thought. who am i, the adelaide zoo? i'm not that lame. i'm lamer. and so i end with just another animal...

a mountain gazelle. just another antelope (and no i am not nude [and no, if you really need to know i am not actually an antelope {NOR do i really look like one - a failure all 'round}])

farewell no-one. i am a scientist now, and thus must give up on art.

ohmigosh! they are also known as barraband's parrot. they are MY parrot!

well at least they belong to my band. when i start one. in the future. and convince my bandmates to name the band after me...

ok so maybe not. but i could always steal one (that's ALWAYS an option).

day three-hundred-and-sixty-three - whitemargin unicornfish

what a strange mash of words that name is

© jem barratt

and what a strange mash of bits the resulting fish is

i love that things like this exist. and the fat ones look even funnier (well, fat or perspective. you be the judge)

actually i'm not sure my caption is true. best things are indeed weird things, but not all weird things are the best things - in fact some are gross, creepy and dangerous.

oh well it's too late to change it now. it's probably best to go with it. so remember, ALL WEIRD THINGS ARE THE BEST. fact.

these guys/gals have so much more detail and beauty to them (to wit), i just decided to falsely depict them is all. either that or i'm sleepy/didn't want to

i'll never tell
