Guest Artist Spotlight: Teddy Cookswell

With some of the recent publicity ART Evolved has been recieving lately, and our ever increasing appearances in google searches, we have been getting a number of interested Palaeo-Artists contacting us. One of them in particular, who you are about to "meet", sent us in a whole portfoilio of his work. It was so nice we decided we had to share it!

Thus we present for your viewing pleasure the first ever ART Evolved guest artist spotlight. If you're a palaeo-artist who'd like your work featured on this site, send us an email at artevolved@gmail.com and we'll get the ball rolling.

Our first guest artist is Kazu Otsuka from Tokyo Japan, but As he signs his work as Teddy Cookswell we'll be referring to him as this from here on in.

Teddy is a designer and has seen his work used in many Japanese museums and aquariums over the past nineteen years. He recently in his spare time started on a huge palaeo-art project. The creation of a short animated film entitled “THE LIFE”, which highlights Teddy's favourite moments throughout the evolution of life. Taking up this project he has had to not just educate himself on prehistoric creatures, but also the artistic medium of CGI.



Despite the hardships of taking on an entire film by himself, Teddy says he has really been enjoying the process. Among his favourite subject matters are Placoderms and Dinosaurs.

You can find Teddy Cookswell's website at this link, and the prototype of his film "THE LIFE" here.


We are now quite proud to host this sampling of Teddy's work, and hope you enjoy it too!
