Two new #solarpunk #art pieces in the Story Seed Library! :) Just call it "reality" by Daniele Turturici storyseedlibrary.org/art/daniele-tu… It might remind you of @the_lemonaut 's Solarpunk #comics […] [Original post on writing.exchange]

A comic where a child is reading a history book. An adult says "See? Back then, they called it 'Solarpunk'. We just call it 'reality'". We see a panorama of a Solarpunk world with solar panels, turbines, farmland, greenhouses and a train in a glass tunnel. Birds are flying overhead.

An industrial-looking brick building with trellises stretching from its wall, "Ten Friends Appliance Fabbery". Train / tram trucks nearby, a mural on a higher floor.

A sprawling vista of energy-generating platform on an ocean full of wind turbines and solar panels, humans and greenery, a cat. In the background the cormorants are migrating against beautiful, colorful sky.

Four illustrations in circles: a whale, a group of researchers, sea lions, a cormorant with its young.
