Those who have seen my pathetic efforts at drawing (my childhood attempts at artwork should have been taped to the inside of the fridge) know why I am a photographer. I have photographed a dragon or two. Here is the latest.

This is Salvator's Dragon, little cousin to Komodo, above.

Clearly it is a bookwürm.... ;)

I'll try to put one up in a couple of days (a heraldic one). Right now I'm decompressing from doing way too much heraldic art in the past couple of weeks (close to 50 drawings -- large numbers of which were variants of "France Modern quartered with England") so no dragons but LOTS and LOTS of lions passant guardant and fliers-de-lis. Although the yale badge of Margaret Beaufort was fun. As was the badge of the Stanleys (although what the story of the "baby in a bassinet attacked by an eagle/falcon" was completely escapes me -- let alone why they decided to MAKE it their badge.... But that stuff wasn't done with FPs -- they were all done in pencil, inked over with Uniball markers, scanned in, printed off, and colored in with Crayola markers.

That first line is the most appropriate thing I have read on this board for truly yonks. Give yourself 5 gold elephants, rampant.

 

Australia has a coat of arms, featuring an emu and a kangaroo. Both quite edible. We must be about the only country that eats our coat of arms...

 

I sometimes wish, though, that we had a milder one, perhaps that featured the mountain pygmy possum and the platypus.

Hah! My husband actually used to have a t-shirt with cartoon of a dragon curled up reading a book, and that was the caption, which is why I thought of of the term.

As for "milder" I seem to recall one of the Aubrey/Maturin novels where Stephen got himself poked a by the poisonous stinger of a platypus. :huh: So maybe not sold mild....

Earlier this evening we were watching a rerun of the old TV show The Avengers and it was the one where the military personnel were doing stupid stunts because they were being conditioned to be adrenaline junkies in a secret society, which held their meetings (unbeknownst to the dotty old lady in charge of the place) at some stately home turned military museum. At one point, she's pointing out the coat of arms of some ancestor and describing it at "four black roses rampant and four feathers 'couchant'" and I was just absolutely cringing at the bad blazon....

I don’t get to draw dragons for my current show, which is rather contemporary. Did a boatload for “Sofia The First.” Some of them sing.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
