Rutiodon and Hesperosuchus by Douglas Henderson

Phytosaurs were long-snouted and heavily armoured, bearing a remarkable resemblance to modern crocodiles in size, appearance, and lifestyle, as an example of convergence or parallel evolution.” Wikipedia.

Feel free to DELETE THIS MINI-RANT if you reblog:

I tag animals like Rutiodon as “crocodile” just to make things easier for the tumblr-people, because I know that when most of them search for the tag crocodile, they expect to see the entire Crocodylomorpha and anything that might look similar. When my tags are inaccurate it’s not always because I’m stupid or neglectful, I just try to keep the clutter to an informal but useful minimum, it works better for most readers.

Good-bye, good luck, struck the sun and the moon, To the fisherman lost on the land. He stands alone in the door of his home, With his long-legged heart in his hand.

The Ballad of the Long-Legged Bait by Dylan Thomas is one of my fav poems ever, although I have no idea what it is about. I am sure though it is definitely not.. about.. JoJo..

I have been messing around with color a lot in my spare time. Using restrictive palettes and imitating retro printing techniques. It is a lot more misses than it is hits, but every once in a while something really beautiful comes out of it.
Now, if I could only figure out how to incorporate this into what I already know how to do.

Mother’s Day
Ink on claybord - 12x24”

I can’t get my images to look good on tumblr, I’ve tried a bunch of different themes and whatnot but they always come out all moire-y and fuzzy… but oh well! Check out a bigger pic on my blog
I used some reference for the statues, most from Pere Lachaise cemetary in Paris. 

I’ll be picking someone for a free print later on!
