Drawings from the 
Portfolio of Biological Aberrations
Since the beginning of life on earth, species have undergone a series of “mass extinctions”. Unsuccessful species have died out due to climate change or because their niches were overwhelmed by more successful contenders. Paradoxically, while thousands of species have vanished, pollution of the planet, rising sea levels and deliberate genetic modifications by man have caused certain animals and plants to evolve and mutate at an alarming rate in order to survive. 

In the Portfolio of Biological Aberrations, I am looking 500,000 years (and more) into the future to see how these creatures might evolve. Each has its own story of discovery and behavior, which you can explore by clicking on the links below.
