Rhapsodies

I found myself cringing when the tupperware container told me I had to draw a dragon because I just couldn’t get the image of Alan Lee’s picture of Smaug sleeping on all of that gold out of my head and I couldn’t think of anything else. For a while I thought that I’d rationalize that the slip of paper didn’t say what kind of dragon and go with a Chinese dragon (I’d just watched a pretty good version of Journey to the West and the scene going to the dragon king’s under sea palace was sticking in my mind) But somehow that didn’t seem right. Sure Chinese Dragons are still monsters but they don’t seem like scary halloween monsters.

Ultimately out of desperation I fell back on comedy. So here we have a dragon expecting it’s annual tribute getting a decoy princess.

Somewhere a village is going to burn.
