Art of Fauna was mentioned in the @theguardian.com! 😱 It's only a side note in this incredibly important article about the @biodivlibrary.bsky.social (the backbone of Art of Fauna) and its current fight for its future. Still, incredibly proud of the mention 🦆 Read the article below 👇

Screenshot of the title card for the article:

"The age of extinction. A bonanza for fans of the natural world: the digital library sharing 64 million pages of scientific knowledge with everyone"

Excerpt from the article, reading:

"The BHL Flickr album is followed by tens of thousands of people and highlights some of the more unusual copyright-free illustrations in its collection (some of which have been turned into an award-winning jigsaw puzzle app, The Art of Fauna)."

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 THEY EXIST! They tried to keep us quiet. We kept searching. Today, I can finally confirm: the Kongamato, the Jackalope, and Nessie are REAL! 📰 The evidence is in Art of Fauna!

Newspaper-style graphic with the masthead “The Daily Pigeons,” featuring two Victoria Crowned Pigeons as decorative header illustrations. The subheading reads “Special Issue — Graz, Wednesday, April 1 — 1.90€.” The main image shows a dark, dramatic close-up of a large serpentine or plesiosaur-like creature emerging from mist, overlaid with the headline: “A Breakthrough Discovery Stuns the Wildlife Community Worldwide.” Large bold lettering reads “THEY EXIST.“

For sounds in Art of Flora, we used a melody that only progresses when you put a tile at the correct spot 🌸 Meaning, if you need multiple tries to find that spot, you will hear the same note over and over again. So @joshmobley.com came up with slight interval changes if you tap a tile repeatedly.
