WERE THE NEANDERTHALS ADORNED WITH FEATHERS?


Después de larga brecha de tiempo, de vuelta a las páginas de mi blog para seguir mostrando diferentes aspectos de mi trabajo artístico y la de otros autores.
Hoy os quiero mostrar una imagen que hice ayer para un amigo, con motivo de la publicación de un artículo científico en Plos One. Es un neandertal cubierto con plumas de buitre.
Mi amigo es Clive Finlayson, y Kate Wong revisar su trabajo en la revista Scientific American, con el título "Caveman Couture: Neandertals Rocked Dark Feathers"

IN MEMORIAM

Dionisio Álvarez Cueto

Gran e imaginativo ilustrador. Irreparable pérdida para los que - como yo - admiramos el arte de la reconstrucción histórica, y para todos en general.
Descanse en paz.
