More Silly Dinosaurs

The Brief: More Silly Dinosaurs



The Critique: Does pterodactyls has feathers? I don't think so. Mine is the best. I'm a bit more talented. And I've been practicing.
Job Status: Rejected. Art director to use her own piece, below



Artist's Note: I donated the original Silly Dinosaurs to the school auction so TAD asked me to make a replacement, but I agree hers is quite good.  Those are brachiosauruses, of course, but they also have blowholes like whales.

update: see the comments below - apparently TAD didn't make up those blow holes herself -- scientists did!

Proto TAD: The Bottle Fairy

I've unearthed one of the inspirations for the Tiny Art Director project.  When she was
just a little over two years old the Proto-T.A.D. was waking us up every night for
weeks demanding “MORE BOTTLE!” At 3:00am we complied to avoid hours of screaming.

Finally we told her that the bottle fairy was coming to take her bottles away and give them to new babies who need them.

“I’m going to be very mad at her when she comes,” she told us.

The Bottle Fairy did come and left this calling card, a toy parasauralophus and a brand new sippy cup.  She loved the dinosaur and didn’t even mind the sippy cup which pretty much solved all of our sleep problems.  She hated the drawing.

And she didn’t even know that I drew it!

Tiny Film Critic: Barbie Mariposa

Presenting a new feature - the Tiny Film Critic
The Film:  Barbie Mariposa and her Butterfly Fairy Friends



The Review: Babiest movie ever? Babier than Dora? Barbie Mariposa.

It crushed the brain out of my head!

It was about these stupid little fairies who think they're strong enough to go into the cave and all the others have to stay back and they're trying to save the queen from the stupid little fairy named Hannah who tries to give her a poison in her mouth.

And then it comes like this: So. Mariposa found the thing that would make the Queen better but stupid little Hannah pulled the petals off the flower and then she only got a little of the smell and even it made her better!

A Crash of Rhinos

The Brief: Like last time, but with rhinos

The Critique: Uh, why'd you do all rhinos? Why did you do their legs so skinny?  What are those little wings?  What, actually, do they eat -- like, what is their prey? What?!? They eat plants?!?
Job Status: Rejected

Additional Comments: Why do you like birdys on them?

The Plains

The Brief: Some animals in Africa

"You already showed me it. Why didn't you keep the rhino in?"

Dragon and Princess

The Brief: I want you to draw a dragon eating a girl.
The Negotiation: How about if they're actually friends?
The Critique: No, he has to have that girl is his mouth. He's not supposed to be a nice dragon. He's supposed to be a bad dragon. I want to see that girl's head pointing out of that dragon.
Job Status: Rejected
Additional Comments: He has to be biting and squishing it.

A Crocodile Swimming to Shore

The Brief: A Crocodile Swimming to Shore

The Critique: That’s not a crocodile, that’s a caiman! I like the noses - they’re called nostrils. How do you like mine? Do you like yours? I hate yours. Job Status: Rejected Comments on her own piece (right): That’s a caiman, that’s an American alligator, that’s an alligator and that’s a crocodile. They’re all kinds of reptiles. They’re all a family of crocodiles but that one is looking for his babies.

Purple Gatorade and Uger

The Brief: Purple Gatorade [The Tiny Art Director's Fish] The Critique: Why did you draw Uger? [Her sister's fish] I hate Uger! Why is his eyes like that? It looks like he's mad. What are you writing down? Grownups never lie, right Daddy? Dad, that doesn't look like Purple Gatorade. Only mine looks like Purple Gatorade. You're going to scan it, and then when you're done with it, it's going to be scrappled up and thrown in the garbage. And then mine will be our final picture. Job Status: Rejected Our Final Picture: at right

Alphaphageosaurus

The Brief: A dinosaur eating a R and an O and an S and a I and a E
The Critique: That's not what I want. That's a Brachiosaurus. I want a T Rex. He's supposed to have the other letters in his mouth too. See look! He's only eating that one. What letter is that?
