The Soul of Gentleness

I am the very soul of gentleness, as everybody knows (cough). But if you push the right buttons...

Therizinosaurus Birthday Card

A birthday card for another friend and Dinosaur Toy Forum member, Dr. Andre Mursch, biologist and Research Associate at Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Dept. of Evolutionary Ecology and Animal Biodiversity.

Sepia ink on card. The original is 12.5cm square.

His saurian portrait is a Therizinosaurus (yes, another one. There are a number of therizinosaurs on the DTF, it seems). Also present is a Dynastes granti beetle, who is supposed to signify Andre's love of insects (among a host of other things) as much as because I fancied drawing it.
