Running Rhino


Well, he's sort of running. The photo was an action shot and I managed to capture some of the action, but not enough. This guy (or girl) in the photo was running like the dickens as little rhinos tend to do. Mine just looks like he's sluggishly in motion. Suddenly it's 12:52. Time sure does run away from you when you are drawing running rhinos. I hadn't drawn a rhino in awhile and thought it was time to get back into it. I do so want to start working on my Rhinoceros Accessories book in earnest one of these days someday, whenever... A friend of mine also wants to write a book about Clara the rhinoceros and would like me to do the pictures. I do like the idea of collaborating. It would be fun. Then all of the pressure is not on oneself. I know someone has already done a really cute book kids' book about Clara, but I thought we could take a different angle. Maybe focus on her trip down the Rhine river? I kind of like the title Rhino on the Rhine:)

Anyway, I have to get up and go. I have a few things to do this afternoon and should get going now. I'm still in my pajamas. I'm loving the cool breeze that is breezing through my window. My cats seem to be enjoying it too.

Edited to add I watched Annie Hall last night and laughed as I always do. One of my favorite Woody Allen quotes is from that movie: "Life is divided into the horrible and the miserable. The horrible are the cancer patients and the terminal cases... the miserable is everyone else. So, be thankful that you're miserable."

Run, Little Rhino, Run! So cute. I'd love to see your Rhinoceros Accessories book when it is finished and reading about Rhinos on the Rhine sounds perfect.
