Big teeth behind the trees

The life-size dinosaur exhibition set in a forest in Switzerland got extended until August. Perfect for us...

Weekend in Los Angeles

After numerous failed attempts, we finally made it to our friends in LA (Santa Monica to be fair, it's much nicer then just LA). Kyan, Anastasia and I drove down on Friday, and Michael joined us on Sunday. What a treat to see the Doreaux again, to chat while sketching with Delphine, and the kids were thrilled to see their buddy Etienne again. We even managed to go see the dinosaurs at the museum, and the mammoths at the Tar Pit.
And about the pictures taken at the beach, all three kids were wearing clothing from my creation. What an honor...

I continued my sock stories with dragons/dinosaurs... My favorites are the ones cut in Halloween socks, they have bats and witch's hats, it makes it look all the more real...

First outing for the Goblins

Halloween has started early this year. We went to the Discovery Museum which had a special "not scary" children party, with witches school, bat cave, petting zoo, crafts... I finished the costumes just in time, the kids having chosen what they wanted to be a while ago: a giraffe for Anastasia, and a kylosaurus for Kyan...

Triassic, jurassic, crétaceous...

The mermaid movie is finally almost done, I will have a bit more time for the blog. And to balance with this underwater invasion, I've been practicing drawing... dinosaurs. Kyan and Anastasia are crazy about dinos, they come up with impossible names which are, apparently, mostly correct, and that leads to slightly surreal conversations ("Where are my herbivores?", " I can't find my stygimoloch!", "Dynonichus, where are you?" (that would be Anastasia who naively believe that the said dyno will answer...), "I would like a pink apatosaurus...", ...). Every evening, the experts kidnap my sketch book to look at the newest arrivals. Here are a few of them...
