Bluefin and Paleoartists
Happy Thanksgiving for those of you in the US eating dinosaurs! Today I am happy to show off some of the recent collaboration we've been doing with some awesome paleoartists. We've covered this before but now the collection is complete!
Natalia Jagielska
Our newest collaboration is with Dr. Natalia Jagielska, a world renowned expert paleontologist and paleoartist! I've always been a huge fan of her art style and she has graciously given us three wonderful pieces of art. The first you probably already recognize since it's been the wallpaper of the month for November, entitled Collapse:
The second is an homage to Ubuntu's famous Hardy Heron wallpaper, originally designed by Ken Wimer. This one is a mashup of one Natalia's pterosaurs in place of the heron. This one is called Tenacious Pterosaur.
And lastly we have Prey, starring a hungry Venetoraptor gassenae, which is a pterosaur ancestor from the Triassic. This one surprised me, I thought it was a mammal at first!
Natalia's artwork was vectorized and remastered by Delphic Melody, please consider donating so that the collaboration can continue!
Andy Frazer (Dragons of Wales)
Original Bluefin artist Andy Frazer returns with Dusk. I love this one.
Also Andy is working on another Bluefin for us, which I haven't seen yet. I can't wait to find out! Andy also has a 25% off special on all his books. I have a few of these and they are not only awesome to own but make great gifts as well.
How to get them
This is not yet included by default so you can hop in early with a ujust bbrew and select artwork. In the future this will be automated for you:
bluefin-wallpapers-extra will bring this collection in. Also you will notice that the Aurora and Bazzite artwork collections are available. This tap is distro agnostic so go nuts putting dinosaurs, cone people, and mechs everywhere!
You can also just grab them from the repository if you prefer to do it that way. Stay tuned for a special holiday wallpaper, coming soon!
