I was recently contacted by the band “We Believe in Dinosaurs” to illustrate a book based on one of their songs. For those of you who are unfamiliar with them, We Believe in Dinosaurs\u00a0 is a fun band from Vermont that plays kid’s songs.\u00a0I spent many an hour drawing dinosaurs as a\u00a0child, so I was excited to draw a book featuring dinos as an adult.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0lead character,\u00a0an ankylosaurus, with the snout and two sets of horns had one of the most complex heads I had drawn in one of my books. And I\u00a0realized that I needed some way to keep\u00a0him right no matter the angles.<\/p>\n

So I built\u00a0a model. It’s my first attempt at building a little model like this, and I’m quite proud of how it turned out. So I thought I’d show off a few photos of the model. A special thanks to my wonderful wife for taking the photos. (Click on the photos to view them larger)<\/p>\n

And here’s an image from the book.<\/p>\n

Currently, the book is only available on the band’s website (which you can find here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
