Montana, Dinosaurs and Update

Tue Jul 7, 2009, 6:56 PM
Hi to everyone who visits this page! I can't believe it's been almost a year since I last updated this journal! :o

Anyways, there have been some things going on that have kept me from putting a whole lot of stuff up here on DA...I just saw that my last post is pretty old. But I'm still alive! (at least I am as I'm typing this hahaha) in case anyone was wondering about it...which I honestly doubt, lol.

I just came back from an awesome trip to Montana. I went on a dinosaur expedition to dig up fossils alongside paleontologist Paul Sereno!!! (for those of you who don't know him, he is one of today's top paleontologists, and a very inspiring person too...he has been all around the world in adventures hunting for dinosaurs).

It was kind of surreal, because I have admired Paul Sereno since I was in grade school (I read about him in magazines back when the dino-mania that came with Jurassic Park spread all over the world), and there I was just last week, discussing about dinosaurs over lunch with him and the other expedition members, digging up fossils and preparing them to be sent to the University of Chicago...it was amazing, and a dream come true, that's for sure!

I came back with recharged batteries so to speak, and I'm working on my new sculpture (I just posted the design I drew for it today), and I'll get back to my 3D Dilophosaurus soon too, and a 3D environment for it that is half-built already.

Anyways! Thanks for visiting my page, and for reading this journal! I hope you enjoy the dinosaur stuff (and soon fantasy stuff as well) on this page.

You are very talented, you should be proud.

It's nice to see art featuring prehistoric species that doesn't involve immature and inappropriate innuendo.

Keep up the good work!
Thanks for your comment! :)
