Tuesday Discover Challenge: Who are you?

Identity is the theme for today’s Discover Challenge, and I think it’s a great prompt, falling neatly into line with the rest of the challenges that have been pushing this cyberstory about Neeka forward. The prompt says, in part: Consider this bit from an older post from author Alexander Chee on being “Asian American”: I…

AtoZ: J is for Jalapeno Dragon by Higgins Dragon

Next up in the A to Z Challenge! Today we have: J is for Jalapeno Dragon This little Jalapeno Dragon was done by an artist calling himself Higgins Dragon, which I found on his now-defunct 2010 blog.  I think this little dragon is cute, but I hope he stays far away from me!  I’m a total wimp when it comes to anything…

Puppy Dragon by RedTallin

Aww, isn’t she cute?  This is Puppy Dragon by U.K. deviantartist RedTallin, aka Rachel Denton. I can just imagine this little girl curled up on my couch with my other furkids (cats)… and in fact, as I look at it (and despite it being a “puppy” dragon), I can even see a little of my…

Golden dragon bicycle, photo by Jim Steinhart

This amazing photo of a specialty “Golden dragon” bicycle (circa 1880-1900), made at the Heritage Plantation in California, was taken in Sandwich, Massachusetts by photographer Jim Steinhart. I needed to find a dragon and a bicycle today, since I took my first long bike ride of the season on this beautiful, but super windy, Sunday…

Dragon Amulet by Felicia Cano

Today’s picture isn’t an actual dragon, I guess, but I really loved this artwork, and it gives me a chance to be even more geeky than usual as I talk about my weekend. This Dragon Amulet comes from an expansion called The Dragon for the Fantasy Flight Games board game Talisman: The Magical Quest Game.  It was created by U.S.…

Black Dragon by Kekai Kotaki

This dangerous Black Dragon by artist American artist Kekai Kotaki is in honor of tonight’s Walking Dead episode — it was a tense and ominous hour with an unforgettable ending, and I can’t wait until next Sunday’s 90-minute season finale! There is a lot more beautiful art at Kekai’s site, including some amazing fantasy landscapes, and also art from Guild…

Caged Dragon by See-past-the-madness

Here’s a sorry-looking Caged Dragon by U.K. deviantartist See-past-the-madness, a.k.a. Rosie Wilman. It’s appropriate tonight, as my friends and I just successfully navigated our first Trapped Puzzle Room! We did all right, although we did use a few hints.  Definitely fun, and we can’t wait to do it again — they have three different escape scenarios at…

Nordic Magic School Dragon by Gunvor Rasmussen

This dragon poster was a real treat to find, created by Norwegian artist Gunvor Rasmussen for a LARP (live action role play) event in Norway that either took place last February, or will occur next February 2017 (I could’t really tell), called Trolldomsakademiet.  In fact, Gunvor created a whole bunch of great content for the…
