Yesterday was the 50th anniversary of Jaws

🩸🦈I made a list to score, with 13 levels of stereotypes about sharks, I hope it is useful for those who want to create works beyond the fear ingrained by Jaws and seek new creative representations of sharks.

#shark #jaws #jaws50thanniversary #jaws50
After noticing patterns over the years, I created this list with 13 points to score the level of stereotypes about sharks present in a work. I believe that most of these stereotypes have their main origin in the film Jaws (1975). With the scarcity of works that explore other creative approaches to sharks, beyond the “man-eating ” narrative, Jaws ended up consolidating itself as the greatest source of inspiration and creative reference for many productions to this day. This was called “The Jaws Effect”. I've noticed that certain patterns in the creative world repeat themselves to the point of being tedious, which bothers me. Not because they're bad, but because in many cases they're harmful. With these points, I hope to show sharks in a new light.

Hey #Invertefest! Here’s another invertebrate comic I’ve made. This one is available as a print on my Ko-fi!
ko-fi.com/s/d0737eb95f
A four panel comics strip. There is a circular trail of dialog that goes through each panel. It reads “Everyday you get closer to the version of yourself that can fly. As each panel passes we see the life stages of a dragonfly. First eggs. Next the nymph living underwater, eating a small fish. Then the dragon fly emerges from the water and sheds its skin, crinkled wings filling with hemolymph. And finally the Dragonfly takes wing and flys off.
