I was stuck for inspiration for today, so I thought about sketching a creature I really like.
It goes back to a children's encyclopaedia I had when I was young, which had a photograph of one in it, and also watching a David Attenborough documentary. What brought it to mind again was a couple of days ago watching Stephen Fry's excellent "Last Chance To See " series.
Not dragon,
Nor dinosaur
Not the stuff of legend
Nor a living fossil.
More than both
I am the stuff of nightmares
Made flesh.
