For the next few posts I want to point out that I made use of: The Complete Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs & Prehistoric Creature, by Dougal Dixon.

Awesome book, beautiful illustrations, I absolutely love it. If you are a ancient reptile fan, it's a recommendation. So after repeatedly asking myself why I was copying all these animals I can finally look at them again and share some awesome knowledge!

The tryptich I have been working on, it is about the cocaine trade in Colombia and the way it affects the enviroment, more information will follow.
