I have many romantic notions, but few actual plans.
Sadly I will never have the opportunity to see my favorite building in the entire world. The Bulldog Inn sat on East Valley Blvd, in Rosemead, California from 1931 to 1944. Very few pictures remain of the iconic restaurant.

The plates on the back of a stegosaurus are not attached to the skeleton. They are osteoderms, bony growths on the skin, like a crocodiles armor, covered in keratin, like a fingernail.

Any education for drawing animals, self taught or otherwise, should include a detailed study of the digitigrade skeleton.

Parasaurolophus is one of the only dinosaurs where we actually know what it sounded like. The long resonating crest has been recreated, and air forced through, making a trumpet like noise that would have communicated to other parasaurolophuses miles away.
