Tweezer Woman!

With the ability to magnificently groom any eyebrow!

(i.e. my sister)

Mon petit chou

Something sugary-sweet, lovey-dovey, and all that jazz. (I know it's gross. Sorry.)

Snowed in and sick

Ugh.

(Prickled, hairy legs added for extra emphasis on my misery.)

This year's holiday card

I'm not sure when I aged 20 years and became a crazy dog mom.

Gingerbread

The gingerbread cookies I made earlier today!
You can see more pictures of them here.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Enjoy the parade, family, and turkey!

Ain't afraid of no ghosts

Have a happy Halloween!

The birthday girl

Don't worry, I won't tell anyone how many candles are really supposed to be on that cake.

Happy birthday, sis!

And why is she wearing sunglasses with her cake? Because she's just that cool.

Jurassic Fight Club

The first rule of Jurassic Fight Club is: "RAAWWWWWR."

The Home-Maker

Not completely forgotten.

Sorry to my handful of followers for not updating in awhile. I promise I haven't (completely) forgotten about this little blog here. But until I work up a new dinosaur to post feel free to give a little looksie at some paintings I have done over the last couple of weeks.

To see paintings click here.

They will be missed.

Today is the day for poor little Pompey.

I've got the Blues.

Commissioned poster for a local Blues Fest

The player

He joined the team because he heard it was a good way to pick up chicks.


I'm not really a fan of football (at all) but this was a special request and I thought 'why not.' And then I played around with coloring it a little too much.

Nothing to do with dinosaurs

My superheroes with little to no super powers other than kicking ass in any decade.

(Strangely enough, Alistair Butterstone kind of looks like my father with a more substantial mustache.)

Party!

Arielraptor likes to party. (Click on it! It moves!)

update: ok now it moves if you click on it.

The old days

Spinosaurus misses the days when words such as "jeggings"* were not part of our everyday vernacular.

*See: heinous, unflattering nylon leggings made to look as though they are denim jeans.

City of Angels

I'm off to LA for a few days so Dinosaurs in Argyle Sweaters will be taking a short break. Hopefully I will return refreshed and inspired to post more often!

Update: Or I will return and become terribly ill. Posts might occur when I'm not feeling like such crap.

The Apache

My conjoined twin good friend, Ariel, got me this awesome Apache paper doll for my birthday one year. I always liked the outfit I put him in but I just had no idea what to do with all of his other ensembles. Until I got this messed up idea.
Enjoy.

Buy me some peanuts.

Not even the mindless fun of overpriced beer and AAA baseball could chase away this sad cloud.

The kitty that's not mine

But her owner never feeds her so I do.

(Hopefully the dark depression cloud that's hovering over my home will go away soon and I can go back to drawing more interesting things.)

Queen Maddie

I did this because I failed to draw Maddie in the previous drawing which just didn't seem right.

And, yes, I do realize the frame is a little bit off.

People I know as dinosaurs IV

Those kookie kids from Cali as a pair of Ceratopsids

The misunderstood

Busy

Sorry for not posting anything new for the last few days. I've been asked to do a poster for a local Blues festival so I've been pretty busy.
I'll return to more dinosaurs in charming apparel within the next day or so.

The Predators!

Scott (previously pictured as a Stegosaurus) took me to see Predators. It was awesome.

People I knows as dinosaurs III

My partner in all things.

People I know as dinosaurs II

My best friend/estranged wife/conjoined twin as a velociraptor.

People I know as dinosaurs

My sister and my niece as dinosaurs.

The attack

It's Shark Week!

Terrible two

The beautiful colors were done by my niece.
She also told me that their names are Sara and Diego.

(you can click on the image to enlarge it)

Now in 3D

Camarasaurus always loved a great summer flick.




But he's been wondering what is going on with all of these 3D films lately.

The bicycle

A lovely day for a bike ride to somewhere.

Home again

I'm home! So, I thought I would start up Dinosaurs in Argyle Sweaters again by posting a few little doodles of dinosaurs on vacation (and a little one of Pompey).

Bon Voyage!

Today I leave for Europe(!!!) so Dinosaurs in Argyle Sweaters will be on a brief hiatus! Until I return feel free to take a look at my travel blog: Le chat boit du lait.

The Sidecar

Home and Away return to terrorize pedestrians and annoy motorists on their Vespa. Ciao.

(They look different because apparently paleontologists decided velociraptors had feathers.)

The Average Spinifer

Poor Stygimoloch Spinifer was never the most handsome guy in school but I hear he's dynamite in the sack.

Late night special: Spain is victorious!!!

Home jersey and Away jersey velociraptors say: ¡Estamos viniendo para ti, los Países Bajos!

(We're coming for you, Netherlands!!!)

El Mundial

The velociraptors forgo their sweaters today in support of Spain.

The girly-girl

Secretly, she likes cars and beer.

Smushed faces

Pompey the Pug and the neighbors' two Boston Terriers, Dieter (the bigger) and Bianca (the lesser).

Happy Independence Day

There ain't no doubt that he loves this land.

The Neighbor

Damn kids better stay off of his property.

(In other news: Go España!)

The love!!!!!

Late last night I caught JiJi Kitty and Pompey, who were once bitter rivals, snuggling on the couch together.

The dilemma

When your two favorite teams are pitted against each other

Hiking

Smush-faced Pugs were not made for hiking

The Cuban

She can smoke them as well as any man.

The Connoisseur

He knows the difference between a Pinot Grigio and a Pinot Gris.

Numero Uno

My man, Scott, is in Europe for the next two weeks so I thought I would do little doodles for him every day that he's gone. The blog came about because I couldn't think of a better way to show him.

So, whenever I can't think of what to draw I tend to just draw some sort of animal/person/thing wearing an argyle sweater. It's weird. I know. It's a habit that started several years ago when I was required to sit through long, boring classes. Anyway, Scott always liked the doodles I did of dinosaurs in argyle sweaters, hence, the drawing and the title of this blog.

This one (and the drawings to come) is for you, love!
