Contribute
The collection is open, and it wants to grow. If you have a pelican-on-a-bicycle image that deserves the wall, here is what we need from it.
What we accept
- Raster images of a pelican riding a bicycle — side or three-quarter view preferred, square 1:1 if you can.
- An unmistakable pelican, a mechanically coherent bicycle, feet on pedals, wing on the bar.
- No text, logos, signatures, or watermarks. Clean edges and a simple background help a lot.
- Your permission to publish the result under CC0 — the trace will be yours, ours, and everyone's.
What tends to fail review
We keep the receipts: studio-style photoreal has failed twice and is retired. Environmental photoreal, flat editorial, and graphic poster styles pass. Aim for the styles that survive contact with the reviewer.
What happens next
Screen → trace → render → compare → human review. Roughly two generations per accepted pelican, repairs capped at three rounds — we believe in second chances, not fourth ones. If your image clears the bar it joins the dataset with full provenance; if it doesn't, you get an honest note and a recorded retirement.
The fine print
Everything accepted ships under CC0 with hashes and metadata. We make no promises about what any model will do with the dataset — it is openly licensed, and what happens next is up to the world. No actual pelicans will be harmed. Several SVGs will not make it.
