Daily Mammal is totally impressive

blogging, friends, development

A friend, Jennifer at the Daily Mammal, just completed what can only be called a mammalathon: she illustrated 24 mammals in 24 hours. The idea was to have people sponsor a mammal by donating to $25 each to Defenders of Wildlife, then Jennifer would illustrate roughly one mammal per hour. Ted, her husband, kept updating the blog with status posts (check out the pics of Jennifer right after starting and then right before finishing!). I asked Jennifer to illustrate something obscure that would be fun to draw... so she did the very weird Gerenuk or giraffe-necked antelope.

A very cool idea for a very good cause. I don't know if I have a skill that I could do for 24-hours to do a similar fundraising event... hacking? baking? running?

    Hey, Joe, thanks for the note! I just saw it. I hope you liked your gerenuk, and thanks for allowing me to discover such a weird animal!

    Not only is my Gerenuk the coolest, but your scans don't really do justice to how beautiful your drawings are! It would be great to get a meta-post from you sometime about how and why you do it all they way you do (tracing paper? what kind of pens/pencils? pastels?)

    You know, I was thinking of doing that, but I wasn't sure it would be interesting. I will, though, just for you, Joe!

And a few words about the structure of the eye . Everyone " retina ". Especially often we hear it buy clomid online in the phrase " retinal detachment ." So what is the retina ? This - the front edge of the brain, the most distant from the brain part of the visual analyzer. The retina receives light first , processes and transforms light energy into irritation - a signal that encodes all the information about what the eye sees . The retina is very complex and in their structure and function . Its structure resembles the structure of the cerebral cortex. The shell of the retina is very thin - about 0.14 mm.
