Description: I stumbled across a graph of the numbers of blue whales in the past century whilst reading the Wikipedia entry on blue whales and whaling I enjoyed reading these articles and found it sad that weve knocked them down the IUCN Red List all the way to endangered in under 70 years of whaling I hope maybe to see one of these chaps in the wildSo this is just something to remind people of how quickly we can endanger a species With whales were even more removed because well most of us dont live in the ocean Were removed from much of what we eat both meat and vegetables not to mention synthetic products so next time you see something on your plate or youre unwrapping a candy consider where it is from and if it sounds interesting consider taking a lookPersonally though whalewatching is more interesting than visiting a confectionery factory but thats just me Kind regardsPascalPS The typeface used in this work is Bodoni ITC designed originally by Giambattista Bodoni The digitized Bodoni ITC versions are based on 6 12 and 72 point originals For more information online see the ITC website or Wikipedia Obviously because of licensing issues the textual elements have been converted to pathsPPS With the amount text and vector blurs youre best off working layer by layer Remember all the textual elements have been converted to paths and thus are more complex to calculate on the fly by Inkscape Essentially I recommend working on a powerful machineFinally this work also resides on deviantART httpklepasdeviantartcomartGentlegiantsofthesea72986882
