The Imaginatorium

30 day Studio Ghibli challenge:
↳ Day 27 → Character you identify with

Taeko from Only Yesterday. I’ve lost count of the amount of times I have looked back on my life and felt like crying for days simply because I missed those days. I have never followed through on anything I wanted to achieve or dreams I wanted to reach. Until a few months into this year I was just going along with life for the sake of it, doing what had to be done, much like Taeko. Things come along without warning and life just somehow… becomes reasonable again. Sometimes you really just have to do something for yourself - something your child self would be proud of. Growing up is hard and it really sucks, but we have to stay strong and power on.

I CEPHALOPODI
Cephalopods of Naples

From an 1896 monograph by Giuseppe Jatta. The illustrator is Comingio Merculiano (1845- 1915), a professional watercolor painter hired in 1885 by prof. Anton Dohrn as in-house illustrator for the Naples Zoological Station, and one of the best scientific illustrators to date. This book on cephalopods is his masterpiece.

As unusual as the cassowary may seem, he fits in well on his island home. New Guinea lacked any carnivorous mammals, making the island a paradise for birds, who were able to flourish in the dense vegetation. Cassowaries, hornbills, doves, and birds-of-paradise were able to evolve in bizarre and unusual forms in this verdant sanctuary.
