There exists no one way toward becoming a professional writer. You cannot perfectly walk another’s journey. … We all chart our own course and burn the map afterward. It’s just how it is. If you want to find the way forward, then stop looking for maps and start walking. — Chuck Wendig, author, screenwriter, game designer, and…
I thought I’d go back and revisit an artist I shared back in February that I really loved, so this is Here there be Dragons by professional artist Ben Wootten. This is a great picture, and I hope you click to see it full-sized, because each time I look at it I find another dragon…
It’s a beautiful summer day here in Minnesota, so today here is a Summer Fairy Dragon Pendant by Italian polymer clay artist and illustrator Umberto Mulignano, one of his Dragons of the Four Elements series (at least, that’s how Google translated the Italian), found on his Facebook page. I can appreciate our weather even more now that…
As is becoming my tradition when I miss a day, here is a beautiful, dragonless picture of the sky instead. This one is called Minneapolis Skyline at Dusk by American artist and photographer (and Twin Cities resident!) Russell Sinclair, posting on deviantart as TheSalmonThief. Since I’m home now, I thought it was perfect — in fact, I’m…
It’s so nice to be home with our kittens after such a long and wonderful vacation! So here is Of Cats and Dragons by German deviantartist Mieronna. This was a commission for a fellow deviantartist back in 2006, and Mieronna says about it: This is a tale about dragons and cats, which are, unlike dogs and…
Hi everyone! I’m actually writing this from about 39,000 feet above the earth right now, since I sprung for the on-plane wi-fi — neat, huh? We’ve been travelling all day today, so I found this adorable Travelling Dragon by deviantartist CrayonBot and had to share him. We’ve had an amazing vacation, but I’m so ready to be back…
It was our last full day on the beach, so I had to share this awesome Sand Dragon by U.K. deviantartist Helium-Sedai tonight. I have my own hoard of seashells gathered from this trip, so I can understand why this dragon is guarding hers so well! Helium has a few other dragons as well as…
Vacationing on the beach is amazing, but sadly I don’t think we’ll see anything like this! This is Dragon Spotting by Belgian deviantartist Philippe Feremans, posting as Netarliargus, Dragon Fanatic Extraordinaire. Writing as if these dragons were in our world, Philippe says: The Bronze dragons are probably the most social species of dragon, and often swim and play…
As promised, today I’m featuring some more amazing artwork by the Singaporean professional artist sandara! And since we’re still on vacation, I thought I’d show off three of her amazing ocean-themed images. First up we have Blue Dragon v2. I love the shipwreck and the epic size of the dragon. I would want to live…
Our vacation is in full swing, and this morning we went on an awesome speed boat tour — so to commemorate it, I found this cool radio controlled toy Japanese style dragon speed boat. There’s only one for sale at the website Emerald City Toys, and it’s $400, but it’s more of a collector’s item than a…
