I actually saw this in the walking with dinosaurs live show in CT. I used to have an behind the scenes book and dino slippers. But back then the T rex didn’t have feathers. It was really awesome and I still have fond memories about it!

Wayne Barlowe is a legend! I have the original copy of Expedition and I hope Cryptozoo becomes a thing because Barlowe is an underrated storyteller in my opinion.
Paintings and Drawings by Wayne Barlowe for an unrealized project called "Cryptozoo." Barlowe hasn't revealed much about it other than that he's written a screenplay for it and has been shopping it around for years now. Personally I can't imagine how this would work as a movie, but it seems ideal for the Barlowe's Guide format...

This is way better, what was in the movies. It actually looks like a theme park!

1: Pseudo Solarpunk: So the idea came from for for designing “eco-friendly living”. But usually they come from corporations or governments. But mostly there made for fixing or making things better. But most of the time they never fully promise or they never get made. Most of the time there just made for looks. Examples include Dubais’s “sustainable” city or Saudia Arabias the Line City. There plenty of more examples. But I recommend looking into Hanzi Freinacht article We Must Reclaim Solarpunk from Authoritarian Regimes it’s really good and its what inspired me to come up with this idea.
So basically imagine a setting for a dystopia where the solarpunk is just aesthetics and no practical use. Or can only be used by a select few, aka the elite while the lower classes suffer. Basically the modern day but worse. Also add some authoritarianism into it and you got pseudo solarpunk or faux solarpunk. I might make another post probably going in much more detail, but no promises.
It’s currently 1:48 am, decided to write this before I forget it, feel free to do what ever with this idea.
