monster village and some thoughts of the Iceland Conquest.

for some reason i never seem to get tired of drawing houses. and monsters. my monsters are all kindly friendly monsters, though. sort of guardians, i guess. but they seem a little needy too, like maybe they would like someone to be good friends with. but they are not scary, not really.

i have been enjoying working on another drawing this week, a tree sloth, i will show you when i am done. i've been listening to Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth on audio book while I draw. It seemed a natural follow-up to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Land Before Time. Journey to the Center of the Earth sort of makes me want to go to Iceland! It's an absolutely beautiful place and did you know they are taking over the world? Yes indeed, there is a spreading center under iceland where magma is welling up and they are slowly, oh, so slowly, expanding into both the Eastern and Western hemispheres. There is your mini geology lesson for the day. You might want to learn Icelantic, someday we'll all be speaking it!
