Island Towns

About mid-way through drawing these I decided they're out in the middle of broad, ephemeral inland seas that dry up for years at a time.

Since I'm such a materials nerd, it only makes sense to start listing faithfully the involved parties. I'm having a blast with a light-blue Pentel R.S.V.P. ballpoint, a grey Zebra Mildliner highlighter, and a black 0.5 mm Uni-ball Jetstream ballpoint, on a blank Rhodia 80g sketchpad.

Hi, sorry for the offtopic, but I'd like to ask for your permission to upload (well, I've already uploaded one) some of your dinosaur illustrations to my tumblr. Credited, tagged and linked to you, of course.

Anyway, I really like your work and people on Tumblr seem to like it too (check my URL). Thanks!
