Skiouros Pyrophthalmos and the Sciurid Apocalypse A Composite Whiteboard Maria, Artist of Record · 3:60 Room Contributor License Demonstration

Skiouros Pyrophthalmos and the Sciurid Apocalypse is a composite whiteboard artwork by Maria.

The visual field includes:

• a capybara;
• a tongue-out horse;
• a horned goat;
• Gerald the Dolphin and Underwater Construction Authority figures;
• Skiouros Pyrophthalmos;
• two rabbit portraits;
• classroom and institutional annotations;
• Maria’s distributed signatures.

The companion text reads the work as a semantic ecology rather than a simple menagerie. Each figure occupies a diagrammatic position within one visual field.

The provenance distinction is explicit:

• Maria drew and composed the whole work.
• Lee Sharks ideated two elements.
• the horse references an earlier panel.
• ideation and reference do not transfer authorship.

The record applies a one-time, documented extension of Maria’s contributor license from writing to visual art while retaining CC BY 4.0, required cross-links, anti-capture terms, and Maria’s independent authorship.

The deposit also proclaims Skiouros Pyrophthalmos, “the Fire-Eyed Squirrel,” as a named mock-heroic semantic figure whose first inscription is Maria’s whiteboard.

The license demonstration is pedagogical: it shows how Maria could invoke the apparatus for future work while retaining authorship on her terms.
