Can confirm you are neither my guy

You do a fantastic amount of art and the amount of writing you do is absolutely astounding at times. Sometimes the muse shifts on how, but you do fantastic work and I won’t let you forget it!

Now you got me over here going 👀

I mean this with all fondness in my heart, it looks like an early Safari/Carnegie Collection dinosaur! Gonna have to add this to the list

Ok, your favorite dragon designs in media GO!

Because Steve Irwin’s last escapades were twenty years ago. Bill Nye the Science Guy last aired in 1998, I can go on. A gap was left to take over, educate and show the world just how cool it is! And I think it’s time to take up the mantle, and re-ignite the passion of learning and exploration.

I’ve run into it again and again where I share something I’ve learned or have known for ages and it gets people excite and they’re like “Wow, how do you know that?” And I see that spark of people wanting to learn and expand what they know, it’s just right there!

Who’s going to help encourage it?

And this might just be me looking back with rose tinted glasses, but I’m failing to see that engagement, that want to learn with younger people. That years of simplifying, rendering things sleek and smooth have done the thing it shouldn’t have: turned people away from learning.

Like back when I was young, you had dozens of resources and materials to inspire. You were given time to explore and engage, but visually engaged to wander and meander. Books presented with gusto, documentaries and educational materials wowed and hooked you in. Learning was in part, exciting!

I have realized two things in my time
- Most of the characters I have made in these categories you've illustrated before
- I have not made a reptilian character in a long time.

So have your own art as some options, from TAM to Auriente to Bugman!

I started with the Rats and finished it in a day. Splatterpunk meets creature feature in the best way for a 1974 book. Good if you’re not the feint of heart, as everyone is on the dinner table for the rats out the gate. Really punchy, giving good setup and getting into the pace that’s just right

Absolutely lovely adding to the collection! Do have a quick question though, the third picture, third shelf from top, on the far left seems to be a rather retro looking Kaiyodo Rex. You wouldn't happen to know what set that's from would you?

David Sodergreen gets cosmic horror and real world horrors in equal measure, along with some rather fantastic characters. Muriel Margaret McAuley is now my favorite old person in all horror, by a long shot. And the mood, the setting, all of it was just golden.
