Crossing Fingers!!!!

Just minutes before the hour hand hit 5 this evening, I sent off a submission to the art contest being held by the Sierra College Natural History Museum, which is looking for something to represent their Dinosaur Day Science Fest to be held on March 27, 2011.  Hope to win this in some way, you can look at the contest guidelines here:

The thing of note from this pic is the attempt to merge the first and second of their following themes:
1) the green color of dinosaurs that many people envision (although due to their feathers dinosaurs may have been brightly colored);
2) to the fact that modern birds evolved from dinosaurs; and
3) to modern society’s push for a more sustainable way of living due to environmental pressures such as climate change, habitat loss, and overpopulation.

Sadly they only wanted black and white -- makes things hard if you want your chicken to be painting green...

 

Mom, Brant and I all had fun envisioning a not so family-friendly interpretation, wherein a dinosaur is rearing out of fossil fuel to avenge all its' dead brethren Godzilla style for all the uses we humans have had of their bones since....  New thought for zombie flicks: forget silly humans when you can have raging zombie dinos stampeding all over the place!  Ahem....
