Today is “Draw a Dinosaur Day,” an unofficial holiday now in its eighth year:

Draw A Dinosaur Day is a holiday celebrated on January 30th. The goal is as simple as its title: Draw A Dinosaur! You don’t have to be a brilliant illustrator, just take a couple of minutes with a blank piece of paper, a post-it note or your computer and enjoy yourself.

You can submit your own dinosaur over at their web site… and post a link to it down in the comments so other Sloggers can admire it!

My contribution (above) is a feathered deinonychus with crazy eyes, the same eyes my parents’ dog gets when she’s playing tug-of-war with you.
