Asleep by Richard Morden
Is it the dinosaurs who are asleep to the world or the city who is asleep to the dinosaur’s presence?
Dip pen and ink, coloured and textured digitally.
I have kind of based the dinosaurs on those known to have roamed Australia and Antarctica, except for the anklyosaurus who just snuck in for a quick nap. I like to draw Aussie dinosaurs – it pleases me to imagine them wandering around the Melbourne area millions of years ago.

Love it – ever read the book Neverwhere, by Neil Gaiman? It’s about hidden underground worlds…
Thanks Bart.
No I haven’t read Mr Gaiman’s Neverwhere, but I will now!

Do you ever draw the megafauna of Australia? I loved visiting Mungo as a kid and seeing their statues of giant roos and wombats.
Lake Mungo is totally ace. The megafauna are totally ace too. Yes I have illustrated them, but it is old art and not up to my current ability so won’t be seen here. I do have a few sketches and ideas though… so stay tuned.
