So in many ways I suppose this little side-line is semi related to my first job ,
like most kids I was awe struck with the fantastic beasts from the past !! and indeed my first ' Saturday job ' was working for a complete crazy old druid, who as it happens was actually a rather esteemed professor of geology too, and fantastic company and tutor to boot , Now Professor Turner also ran a series of expeditions and excavations throughout the u.k for geological and paleontological specimens of interest .... or sometimes of commercial value, and this is where my initial experience of the ' workplace ' began
my childhood passion was rekindled just a few short years ago when my prop and replica ' division ' was awarded a production contract for a series of life-sized anatomically correct display items for a series of fundraising events for the local faculty and museum, and it really did reignite my interest , for here was a huge visually enthralling , psychologically dumbfounding 3- D manifestation , of something that I was desperately trying to encapsulate in a series of paintings at the time ...
Dinosaurs stand as a shining salute to the notion that all things .... ALL THINGS !! are temporary !! everything is subject to change !! now this is an astonishingly necessary and pertinent sentiment .... especially in these politically charged and ecologically doomed times !!
of course we can take the lesson that ' life always finds a way ' as was so eloquently put in some former reference , and yes we can say well the earth was indeed repopulated after each major global extinction event ... but that's not really my intended point of focus !!
as of course with climate change taking some apparent toll on the world , and the worlds leaders by and large have become the same inebriated inbred entitlements that seem to resurface every century or so and proved themselves to be completely incapable of executing the will of the majority .... and indeed in a world gone quite mad on the available opulence of the latest well paid rip off . its vitally important to instill this notion of change in the fresh minds of the newest generations, and as I said before most kids love dinosaurs ...
and that is the highlight able point .... no matter how big your teeth are , no matter if you are the worlds greatest predator, no matter how many years your epoch lasts ..... no matter how big your building is , or how celebrated and self important you may be ... all things ,.... ALL THINGS CAN AND DO CHANGE x x x
