Some late night thoughts on Paleoart

Today I talked nearly two hours about posthumans, strange hominids and the work of Dougal Dixon and C. M. Kösemen in front of maybe
40 people.

Now I'm home and doing some paleo work and while doing so I'm musing about Paleoart.
The soft dinosaurs revolution and their artistic manifest "All Yesterdays" were shaking up the way we look at prehistoric animals
and how we reconstruct them. In a way they made visible that Paleoart is also just art and that the things we drew all day
might just be a form of art tradition. With All Yesterdays becoming more and more important and popular we actually might 
fall into the old trap of our forerunners. By establishing new traditions and memes. One way, I think, we might avoid this, could be
a more careful communication with the viewer, especially younger readers might get confused quickly when bombarded with speculative
Paleoart. Tell a lie long enough and it becomes true in the mind of the listeners. By exposing the "artiness" and speculation of our pieces (and the speculation and guesswork which the scientists wrote down) we might avoid establishing new false believes about prehistoric creatures and encourage the viewer instead to try their own interpretation. 

I know some are already doing this but I thought it could be good to write it down I'm kind of in a flow right now.

All the best,

Joschua


P.s. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR THE AWESOME BIRTHDAY WISHES!!!! I will answer them all later ^^ 

Edit: On a later thought, I don't think traditions are negative, but it's important to see them as what they are.
