Picture Book Marathon: Day Eleven

A gritty expose into the truth about dinosaurs: robots, operated by rodents. Of course.

Really, this is a hideous insight into how my mind works. It went:
Google home page-Thomas Edison-Heath Robinson-(twenty minutes looking at Heath Robinson pictures)-Wikipedia front page-Albertosaurus (blame Wikipedia front page) and then some ransom clicking while thinking which suddenly amalgamated them. I also went through ideas about robot mice and robot ghost frogs. Robots were quite prevalent today.

The Albertosaurus was heavily inspired/copied by the Wikipedia reconstruction. I was intending to just be inspired by it, and before I knew, it had reappeared, filled with engineering mice.

I should also say, this is my dream book. I loved books about mice living in mansions in strange places when I was little, (and in all honesty, now too) and you'd be surprised just how many books there are in that genre.

I'm a self-taught graphic designer, trying to work out how to make this thing called work, work. I've also got a degree in Art History and Film Studies, an interest, bordering on obsession with animation, strong views on typography, an enormous recipe file and a well used bible.
