H is for Hydrus

Watercolours, pencil crayon and markers on watercolour paper.  If a hydrus sees a crocodile sleeping with its mouth open, the hydrus will roll itself in mud(to become slippery), slide down the crocodile’s mouth and eat its innards. It will finally eat its way out through the belly, killing the crocodile. Mmmm.

Dragon Ideas at an End

Di

Years ago I bought my first domain name and launched my first portfolio site. Originally I wanted ‘tatterhood.com’ but it was taken. So I tried for several other names, all of which were taken, and finally settled on ‘dragonideas.com.’ I am a very patient person (when I want to be). I am used to spending years on projects or waiting for particular items to be available. Time passed, and eventually ‘Tatterhood’ was mine and I had no need anymore for ‘dragonideas.’

Down fell the dragon, down came the site and yesterday it exhaled its last breath. But all is not lost. Here is Di, a friendly dragon I sketched and coloured, that lived on my old site. I think she’s cute.
