Comments on: Earth Beasts Awaken http://dontmesswithdinosaurs.com/?p=367 Short films, animation, music and illustration by Brian Engh (aka The Historian Himself). Don't Mess With Dinosaurs is the aesthetic mantra behind the work displayed on this website. It attempts to express the necessity of respect for the ancient forces of the universe, and the sense of wonder and awe that they give me. In other words, respect to the ancients.

Awesome Super Powers nudged me this way with the Micah B contest entry, which really tore into my flesh, thrashed me around the beach and dragged me down into the murky river bed to fester. Earth Beasts Awaken just furthered what dismal chain reaction you've set in motion, which is pulling me back into hip hop. Your work is incredibly polished and probably the most original material I've heard since The Cold Vein. Persist, humanity demands it. God dammit.

Dude, awesome creation. I love how the lyrics flow like stories from legends, Vow is a great example. Operation Spearhead is bad ass, and I smiled at the part in Approaching Destroyers concerning the Secretary of Defense; that part is way relevant to today. And for me, Thrive is super powerful, that song brought a tear to my eye, we're all ancient, nice work. Throughout the album I often flashed back to times when we went lizard hunting and let our imaginations run free. Go Mother Earth!
