Two days ago, I had a brilliant idea for an art project. I would take a basic amniote body plan (a horse, for example), and deck it out in all the little spines, colors, tufts, bells, and whistles of a specific caterpillar. For instance, I could make a green and brown wolf with a brown bullseye on its back and long branching spines protruding from above its shoulders and hips ([link]) and end up with something awesome-looking. The sad thing is that when I start these kinds of projects, I will usually complete one picture in the series and either forget about the whole thing or become utterly bored with it. I have at least 14 other ideas that either never came to fruition or were started and never finished (Gossipiboma is a joyful exception). It's a habit I should kick.
On the brighter side of things, this project would seriously test my artistic skills (you have to admit that it would be pretty hard to capture the color of [link] 's spines), and I would probably redo individual drawings before they met my standards. Wish me luck if this ever works.
