EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork by Mark Garlick takes us back in time to the end of the Cretaceous period, showcasing a triceratops dinosaur amidst a volcanic landscape. The scene is set after a catastrophic event - a massive meteorite impact that caused widespread destruction on Earth. As we gaze at this print, we can almost feel the intensity and chaos that ensued. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable, capturing the intricate features of both the triceratops and its surroundings. The majestic herbivore stands tall, surveying its transformed habitat with an air of resilience. Its three iconic horns and bony frill are unmistakable symbols of strength and defense against any lurking predators. The volcanic landscape adds an ominous touch to this prehistoric masterpiece. Volcanic eruptions were just one consequence of the devastating meteorite impact, releasing poisonous gases into the atmosphere that suffocated wildlife like never before seen in Earth's history. This illustration serves as a haunting reminder of how fragile life can be when faced with such cataclysmic events. As we admire this artwork, let it transport us back millions of years ago when these magnificent creatures roamed our planet freely. It reminds us not only of their existence but also highlights the delicate balance between nature's forces and life itself – a balance that has shaped our world throughout time.
