It's Monday...

...And I've just uploaded a crapload of art - eight posts' worth, in fact!

The below drawing was adapted from one of my many sketches of dinosaurs from the movie Jurassic Park, which I did when I was about 12 years old.
` The autograph, however, was added by paleontologist James T. Kirkland a few years later when he gave a talk about giant dromaeosaurs - it reads, "To Sarah; My raptor is bigger than Spielberg's raptor!"

Of course I couldn't spare a precious Velociraptor adaptation, so a T. rex had to do....

I actually did about a hundred sketches from the videotape of Jurassic Park, paused on some particular frame or other.
` This adaptation, however, was only done while looking at the sketch, not at the actual movie frame, so it's probably a lot less accurate than the sketch was.

For reference, below is a frame of the movie that is similar to the one I worked from back in 1994:

I also have here a drawing someone else did of me (obviously) from the side. That was done back when I was first loading my SEO Blog onto Science, Wackmobiles and Spurious Brainchildren....

In fact, a note of this is made of the post in which I announce the completion, where a stunning photo of myself in the Cascade Mountains with the artist ("Jonathan") has been placed.
` You should check it out!

Be back Friday.
