Turtle Eagles and Flormenes: The Chimerical Zoology of Mark Brooks

The New York artist joins the Spanish illustration studio Alademosca to carry out these impossible evolutions.

The entire current spectrum is not enough. Surely in some alternative universe Darwin would have torn his hair out trying to decipher how Mother Nature came to create something like a turtle, the flowermencos or the deer. But this entire atlas of non-existent species, at least in our universe, can only be found by Mark Brooks in his The Creative Specimens .

Chimeric animals never seen before

This artistic director and graphic designer from New York has decided to let his imagination fly and, on the occasion of the Adobe 99U Conference in 2020, create a zoo as colorful as it is fictitious in which the cacti have tentacles, the fruits of the trees are shells and Starfish or parrot tail is a jungle vine.

The Alademosca design studio brings these unprecedented beings to life.

But he has not been alone in the final result of these creatures almost from a Jules Verne book. On the contrary, Mark Brooks, in his efforts to unite different styles, used his knowledge of digital illustration so that it was then Joan Miquel Bennassar and his team from the Mallorcan studio Alademosca who brought them to life in physical format.
