Thursday Writing Thoughts: Adventure is exotic and strange…

Adventure is love in strange places. It is whatever is exotic and strange. Adventure is doing things we’ll probably never do, going to the brink of danger and returning safely. – Ronald B.

Paintbrush Fairy Dragon by How Many Dragons?

Wow, look at this beauty!  Here is another design by my favorite dragon sculptor, Lindy Briggs of How Many Dragons?, called Paintbrush Fairy Dragon.  I love the colors and the fairy wings!  I’ve personally never been able to paint or draw, but this would make the perfect gift for an artist!  And I’ll bet that’s just what…

Puff by Jared Dahlheimer

This is Puff, as in Puff the Magic Dragon, by American deviantartist Jared Dahlheimer, posting as Jarad1481.  Having this version of Puff as an imaginary (or was he?) friend would have been amazing as a child. I found this piece of art while I was looking for images of Puff for the letter P during last month’s AtoZ Challenge,…
