Tender Beast

Aha, there you are, Homo Sapiens!

The apex of creation. The peak of evolution. The master of nature. Ha!

Have a look at how this whole mess began. It’s me, Adam, a prehistoric artist, sending you a message from the good old times when humans used tails for balance and dinosaurs were so cute you could ride one.

Here’s my freaky tribe, my friends, my slaves, and my fellow aliens. These are your roots (OK, except the aliens, probably). Back in those days, we didn’t turn into demigods yet. We just lived our lives as humble, tender beasts.

The “Tender Beast” Book

Based on these graphic works, “Tender Beast” was created as a picture book for adults and first published in June 2023. The book features over 50 original illustrations full of irony and grotesqueness. 

The “Tender Beast” book is a message from an imaginary prehistoric artist to modern-day Homo sapiens. It’s an epic story describing the rise and fall of a fictitious human-like species, both so different and so alike us, in an effort to find the innocence in human nature that once existed.
