Fruit of the Womb: The Botanical Classification of Fruit
I created this illustration to tell the story of where fruits come from. Turns out they come from flowers, and that’s why a tomato is technically a fruit. What started as a fun conversation over dinner this summer spiralled into a deep exploration into pomology, carpology, and botanical literature. Here is my attempt at visualizing all the information I’ve synthesized over these past few months into a useful reference guide.
Hope you learned something new today.

“Em Fobos, a lua mais interna de Marte e local de prováveis recursos extraterrestres, uma usina móvel de produção de propelentes se arrasta por toda a superfície irregular. Usando um reator nuclear, a grande torre derrete a superfície, gerando vapor, que é convertido em hidrogênio e oxigênio líquidos”. (texto: NASA).
“On Phobos, the innermost moon of Mars and likely location for extraterrestrial resources, a mobile propellant-production plant lumbers across the irregular surface. Using a nuclear reactor the large tower melts into the surface, generating steam which is converted into liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen”. (from NASA).

One of my favorite things is to look at old dinosaur art from the 19th Century, like these from “Earth Before the Deluge” from 1879.
Nowadays, despite the fact there are thousands of species of dinosaur, there are only six or seven “superstar” species used in every movie. Velociraptor is the latest addition to the list, since Jurassic Park and the Raptor Red books (you will not find a velociraptor in any movie prior to 1993), but if you asked someone from the 19th Century what the top dinosaurs were, the ones that drew crowds and were most associated with the concept, they’d probably say Iguanadon, Megalosaurus, Mosasaurus, Hyleosaurus, Icthyosaurus, and, as the 19th century started to end, Diplodocus (only the last one is all that well known to casual dinosaur fans). That’s because those dinosaurs were the earliest used to describe the concept.
