from the sketchbook

I found an old book from 1906 called Extinct Animals by E. Ray Lankester, M.A., LL.D., F.R.S.

I drew this blind contour drawing while looking at a picture of a Dodo bird’s skeleton.

Based on the writing, I may have also been channeling Dave Matthews. At the time I drew this, I wasn’t listening to Dave Matthews and hadn’t in quite a while, but I’ve always loved the song “Dodo.” Anyway, if you’re interested, here it is. You’ll see what I mean.
