A rock/flying fakemon line based on Wiwaxia, Aegirocassis, and blimps (featuring one bonus fossil)! They're some of my fave prehistoric creatures so it was a ton of fun making them into pokemon 🦐

On this I find myself spending the night in Moline Kansas. It's been a day of collecting Permian marine fossils in SE Kansas. Yes, looking for very rare trilobites ... lots of critters but no biters so far. As much as you could ever want.

Minty green spines on this linocut Wiwaxia with collaged washi papers. I still think the Cambrian creature would make an excellent bike helmet design.⠀
