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.

I can't believe you got to meet - and not only MEET - but work with and EAT LUNCH WITH one of your idols!! (I was wondering about what you were talking about in your deviations!) I am so so so happy for you!! How did you arrange that trip????
Yeah, we all need a recharge every once and a while (some more than others!
p.s. Hopefully you should be recieving a package soon!! I sent it a couple weeks ago...
Thank you soooooooo much!!! I love the tie, I'm definitely going to wear it next time I have to wear a suite
You should be receiving a letter soon too!
I am so so so glad you like the tie! I have had that idea for a while, but it's not so easy to find dino ties! I mean, WHAT is wrong with the world??
Seriously, don't worry about it! I'm not that type of person!
Im so jealous right now, you got to hang out with Paul. Way too cool for words. Man I want to do that! I collect fossils around here, but there's nothing but coral and trilobites from the Devonian.
