I really like the Dinosaur Barbeque -- for the food, the music, and the wild dinosaur art on the walls.

I love drawing cartoon characters -- especially ones of dinosaurs -- so I thought that this project would be perfect to do. The first design I made was a dinosaur character with shades and a spatula, taking up most of the frame. But then I began looking at the design of art nouveau posters. I thought I should make the dinosaur more of a logo, and focus on the design of the piece.

It went from being a "character" project to more of a poster design, although I made sure to include characters like the band members, since music is a huge part of the place's atmosphere, as well as the waitresses.

Overall, it was a fun project for me, and I was able to incorporate my quirky sense of humor, as well as my dinosaur character into it.
