Eugene, Gavin, Julius & Eva BTS on BC's Fossil Bounty — Season Two |
We did a deep dive in Season One of the career of Dr. Julius Csotonyi, a Vancouver-based scientific illustrator and natural history fine artist. We wanted to have him back (you asked and we answered) to share a particular story of how he fills the walls of museums with murals and what goes into that process.
Julius has a scientific background in ecology (MSc) and microbiology (PhD) which has taken him to study sensitive ecosystems, from sand dunes in the Rocky Mountain parks to hydrothermal vents at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

For Season Two, along with the tale of how the Smithsonian's Deep Time Exhibit unfolded, we also show you how he creates art — live!
We chose a particular arthropod that is long extinct. You'll learn which palaeo creature he chose and see it come to life when his episode airs in 2023.
To see his episode in Season One, you can watch it on TELUS Optik TV or visit the STORYHIVE YouTube link here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUerL9urNX8fHb6nHc_vrBQ
