Those who know me can verify that my fascination with dinosaurs did not wither away around the third grade, as that fascination has a tendency to do with children. Thanks to illustrators like James Gurney and William Stout, my wide-eyed enthusiasm for the prehistoric only grew over time; This page from my sketchbook is testament to that fact. This is hopefully the first (since grade school, at least) of many forays into the world of paleo-art.
