Dinosaur Museum


Black and White Ink Drawing - 'Vincent and the Dinosaur Bones'
This is a 'thought' spread. Vincent is describing to his new dinosaur skeleton friend what a museum is like. It took me quite some time to select the correct dinosaur skeleton to have on show in the museum. I wanted a familiar and recognisable skeleton but I wanted to stray away from the cliche T-Rex. In the end I decided to go for the Triceratops, my husband's favourite of the dinosaurs (my favourite is the Leaellynasaura, but they are very small and not very recognisable). The decision to use the Triceratops, however, was not easy either. It has been argued that the Triceratops was not it's own species of dinosaur but actually a juvenile form of a Torosaurus. Yet, it still appears that even though Scientists are accidentally making species extinct (including the Brontosaurus) we all still acknowledge them. These dinosaurs are fun.
