So, I heard some rather exciting news a few weeks ago. Those of you who “like” my Facebook page may have seen that a workshop what I did the illustrations for aaaaaaages ago (old blog post featuring illustrations here check out my old hair cut) is being made into a book, and the children’s workshop (called Sounds of the Dinosaurs, written by Grace Todd) which has been presented at the museum zillions of times to the delight of children and teachers alike, will be presented at *gasp* Hay on Wye festival! and the book will be sold there too! Here’s hoping I get a ticket to that…

Anyway, as part of the publishing-in-a-book thing, Grace asked me to do a couple more illustrations for her. One has yet to be signed off, but t’other is a size comparison chart showing the differences between the various critters featured in the book – alamosaurus, tyrannosaurus rex, hadrosaur, pteranodon and frog, along with a camper van and some children. Each gridline represents one metre. You can click on the image for a bigger version.

Sometimes I get a bit overexcited by the fact that I get paid to draw dinosaurs and I have to have a little sit down.
