► ABOUT:
michael wayne rosen (born 7 may 1946) is a british children's author, poet, presenter, political columnist, broadcaster and activist who has written 140 books. he served as children's laureate from 2007 to 2009.
rosen first used the artificedesign channel when he uploaded a video, "we're going on a bear hunt". he proceeded to use it when nobody was willing to keep his book the hypnotiser in print, so his son, joe rosen (born november 3, 1976 [age: 44]), filmed him narrating each poem in an outdoor studio. these poems included favorites such as, "the outing" (right, class 6!) "hot food" (noice), and "the michael rosen rap".
three years later, he re-entered youtube by uploading videos of him narrating poems from his new book, chocolate cake. four years after that, michael continued uploading videos of poems and stories, and he has been doing so ever since.because of rosen's strange actions in his videos and large dictionary of words, rosen's videos have been targets of youtube poopers for years. some notable ones include 256pialternate, noicedrinkz, and cs188. by the way this rap battle series is inspired by epic rap battles of history aka erb and freshy kanal at first, michael tried to take them down, but there were too many and eventually, he accepted their existence. due to his acceptance and perhaps due to his social activism, rosen earned the respect of the youtube poop community.
philosoraptor is an advice animal image macro series featuring an illustration of a velociraptor (jurassic park) paired with captions depicting the dinosaur as being deeply immersed in metaphysical inquiries or unraveling quirky paradoxes. On October 8th, 2008, the original illustration of the Philosoraptor was released and copyrighted by creator Sam Smith as a T-shirt design for sale on the online retailer Lonely Dinosaur. On March 30th, 2007, the earliest known depiction of a Philosoraptor dinosaur was posted on YTMND page titled "New species of dinosaur discovered!", featuring a photoshopped image of a Velociraptor from the 1993 action film Jurassic Park holding a copy of Plato's complete works (shown below, left). On February 18th, 2009, the earliest archived appearance of an image macro featuring the Lonely Dinosaur illustration was posted on 4chan /b/ board.
