The Evolutionary Biology of Hyrule - The Great Deku Tree of Life
Well it’s been almost 3 years since LA-based production company iam8bit put on one of their legendary eponymous video game themed art shows, but the wait is almost over! SUPER iam8bit opens to the general public tomorrow night at the recently renovated iam8bit headquarters located in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles.
For my contribution to the show, I created Magna Arbor Vitae Deku (translated “The Great Deku Tree of Life”) a sprawling exploration of the evolutionary biology of the 200 most important species from the Legend of Zelda video game series. Complete with binomial Latin names (Zora Bellator and Zora Fluvialis share a common ancestor with the more peaceful species Zora Sapien, for example), the branches of the Deku tree trace the evolution of each species over millions of years. Forks in the branches indicate an extinct common ancestor of the species that follow.

Sup.
I'm Shari, a twenty-something year old girl from Belgium.
Working, and I must admit at some times, I miss being a student...
(lots of free time and stuff.)
But hey, I'm making money now, woohoo!
I'm a huge animal lover. And if you don't like animals, you can gtfo.
I have a fat ginger cat who looks like Garfield irl, and a cute white shepherd dog. (If you want pictures, you can always ask and I'll gladly show you.)
Music is life! I love doing concerts and festivals, although it's on a kind of low level right now, but I've seen a lot of bands, I've lost count.
Good times, good times.
I'll stop rambling now, if you want to know anything else, just ask!
P.S: I really, really, do not like dragongflies. They scare the living shit out of me.
