Scientific illustrations of animals found in books, encyclopedias, and journals help us learn more about wildlife. They explain the anatomy of animals through colorful drawings and highlight their most important features. Artist Tim Andraka is trying to do the same with his series of illustrations titled “Natural History Collection,” with one distinguishable difference: the science behind his work is made up.

Andraka’s illustrations feature drawings of animals with unexpected and surreal twists. For example, he imagines that Toucans’ big, colorful beaks grow on trees, and the bird simply picks them up once they fall to the ground.

In another illustration, he imagines Armadillo as an opossum who got himself armor.

In a recent chat with Metal Magazine, Andraka shared that there is no specific message he aims to convey with his surreal works, although he does enjoy learning how people interpret them.

“Many of the ideas are just something I thought was weird, unsettling or silly and wanted to share. I also enjoy seeing how different people interpret each piece. Some people resonate with specific animals or objects that carry on a meaning of their own,” Andraka explained.

Japanese artist Mayumi Yamamoto creates some of the most realistic felted cats we have ever seen. Yamamoto’s felted creations not only manage to capture all the physical features that make them so adorable but also their playfulness, curious nature, and even arrogance.

Yamamoto ventured into felting after receiving a felting kit as a gift from a friend. Being a big cat lover, she decided to make the felines the primary subject of her works. She liked the activity so much that she started using all her free time to create felted cats.

When Yamamoto first ventured into felting, the practice wasn’t as popular as it is today. As a result, she was forced to learn everything about felting on her own, going through a lot of trial and error before mastering the necessary techniques.

Nowadays, Yamamoto is an expert in felting, and the felted cats she regularly shares on her Instagram page show it. They look like real felines frozen in time while they are snoozing, chasing butterflies, or stretching after a long nap.

Yamamoto also enjoys sharing her knowledge with others, providing videos with felting tips on her Instagram. She is currently working on opening an online school to make felting courses available to everyone.
