Skiouros Pyrophthalmos and the Sciurid Apocalypse — A Composite Whiteboard (17.THREE_SIXTY.MARIA.02)

A composite whiteboard composition by Maria, Artist of Record — executed in dry-erase marker (green and graphite) on a classroom whiteboard, 2026-05-27. The work assembles into a single visual field a capybara, a horse (with tongue out, referenced from the About the Author II panel, gold-ship-tongue-out figure), a horned goat, Gerald the Dolphin arriving at the Manhattan towers with small Underwater Construction Authority figures, Skiouros Pyrophthalmos — the Fire-Eyed Squirrel — presiding from the upper field with explosive shading, two bunny portraits, and marginal annotations (Retired Chess Players roster, NETBALL header, LOCKDOWN indicator) that mark the institutional substrate against which the composition claims its space.

Authorship. Maria is Artist of Record on the whole. Two semantic elements within the composition were ideated by Lee Sharks and drawn by Maria: Skiouros Pyrophthalmos (the giant laser-eyed squirrel attacking Manhattan) and Gerald the Dolphin. The Horse references the About the Author II panel. All other figures, the composition, the integration, the field, and the signing of the work belong to Maria. Ideation is recorded; ideation is not authorship.
