cambrian animals !! by camiidae
the cambrian period began ~540 million years ago and lasted ~55 million years. during that time, life forms started to reaaally diversify, and so many interesting looking critters appeared.
and there’s something so captivating about how they look. i find them weird, cute, awesome, and funny all at the same time.
i think it was last year that i discovered my fascination with paleozoic fauna. if i remember correctly, my introduction to it was an anomalocaris meme. i loved that creature so much that i needed to know more about them. and when i did i wanted to start learning more about other creatures.
then at some point i just started drawing them, and later i was so obsessed that i wanted to dedicate an album to them,, and here it is.
i don’t know, life on earth is such a breathtaking thing and it’s kinda shocking to think about how there were living beings so different from us and so long before us that one day just... disappeared.
and life just kept going. like the whole universe and time and things just started to happen and life appeared and developed and diversified and created so many different things and... and here we are.
life led us to this moment.
it’s strange, but also beautiful in so many ways.

i like making music. and drawing. and nature :]
i also like conceptual albums so my projects tend to have that form.
i choose a source of inspiration for both the music and the drawings and then i get to work till i end up with a cohesive audiovisual thing, that mutates during the creative process.
here you will find all the projects that i finished so far <3
