Primitive Technology

John Plant is the shirtless survival genius behind YouTube Channel, Primitive Technology. Inspired by traditional Aboriginal structures, Plant films himself building shelters, weapons, pottery, tools, etc. with only raw materials he finds in the tropical forest of Far North Queensland, Australia. John began posting these videos in 2015 and described it as a hobby. He has a bachelors degree in science but decided to not do anything with it. Instead, Plant made a living mowing lawns with his YouTube career as a side project. Primitive Technology has accumulated four point seven million subscribers from 2015-2018 and his most viewed video has been watched over forty-eight million times. John Plant is alive and well and still makes videos to this day

English painter/designer Roger Dean was born August 31st, 1944 in Ashford, United Kingdom. Dean is best known for his fantastic/surreal oil paintings of landscapes and buildings. His style incorporates a pure, lush depiction of nature and primitive structures with a chrome, almost futuristic tinge to them, highlighting the natural beauty of plant life, animals, and an environments abiotic factors. Some of his most popular paintings are appropriately covers of progressive rock albums such as Yes's 1971 album, Fragile, and Asia's 1983 release, Alpha. Although Roger Dean has achieved great success with his painting career, that did not stop him from also pursuing a career in architectural design. Dean's Home for Life is a project that started out as a design for a comfortable child's bed and expanded into an entire living space. The Home for Life stresses the importance of a house's mood to ease the stress of the dweller.
