Laurie's Space Dream

ammonite woman pauses to clear her syphon

I did have a dream the other night that I had tentacles, but mostly I think it would be cool to be an ammonite. You'd have most of your body tucked away in a hard shell, use your syphon to jet around in the ocean, control your buoyancy with gas bubbles, and of course, use your ten tentacles to catch things to eat. (In this version, one of the long tentacles with the pad on the end is modified to have an elbow and fingers.)

The ammonites were closely related to the modern squid, octopus, and cuttlefish. But they are no more: the last of them died out the same time the dinosaurs did.

If you're wondering why ammonite woman's shell is such a shiny gold color, it's because the rock of the fossil was replaced with iron pyrite (fool's gold).

In your dreams

I don't know if it is still my turn for themes, if it is, illustrate a dream you've had or one you would like to have :)  If it isn't still my turn, feel free to simply delete this post :)

The Walls Of Space

Scandal in Suburbia

I imagine this as a combination of Valley of the Dolls and The Stepford Wives.

Feeling the Chill by Sheila Gibson

Is she frigid?  Or is she thinking of another man?  Read "Feeling the Chill" and find out!

The Man with a Dog Head

This is not a "real" book, it was the one mentioned in the movie "Day Trippers" by Liev Schreiber's character, Carl.  It was a story he was working on about a man with the head of a German pointer that sounded very intriguing and I wish it had really been written.

p.s. updated photo - can you believe I finally taught myself how to add text in photoshop?
