Very nice, it says painting, but it has a print quality to it. I've been wanting to do some silk screens and this gives me inspiration.

Nice image. It's good to see a Farker accomplishing something with their lives. I think that brings the total up to 5 or so.

I do, it's a different aesthetic, and that's what art's about. Aesthetics.

I like the choice of colors more and more as I look at it -- it's kind of unexpected and daring, and it works. Well done!

Are those Horsetails?

Since when does art require citations?

Badass piece, btw

Because to be scientific it's supposed to show realistic plants and animals. Only recently do we have an idea what the plants and animals of the late dinosaur periods looked like.

When I was a kid dinosaurs didnt have feathers. Now they do.

I've met alaskanime, the Farker responsible. I have a McLargeHuge canvas print of this hanging on my wall. I'm hipper than you, Scientific American.

/apparently Costco of all places has a really good canvas printing department

The one and only opinion that I will ever hold in common with Newt Gingrich is that dinosaurs are awesome. Great print and congrats on the recognition!

What you can't see is the Daspletosaurus hiding behind the Ginkgo tree...

I love the attention to detail with the types of plants.

Ah,,so I should probably stop with the MS Paint then?

Very beautiful work there. Congratulations!

Dinodork: I love the attention to detail with the types of plants.

That's where my eye went first. I don't know why, but it's the sort of thing that can ruin an otherwise great image for me.

Very cool.

I love Carhenge. I went by in 1995, I'm glad it's still there.
