When two artist go to the L.A. Natural history Museum

On Tuesday I went to the L.A. Natural History Museum to sketch Dinosaurs with Keith Noordzy. There are two floors full of Dinosaur skeletons at the museum. I just couldn't believe how HUGE some of them were and that they were REAL. They seem so unreal when you see their massiveness in person. 

I tried to take a picture of the Apatosaurus, but he/she didn't fit all the way in the frame. Apatosaurus is basically a Brontosaurus, but when they named it a Brontosaurus, they had put the wrong head on it or something (Keith informed me). Now that it has the correct parts, it's called a Apatosaurus and is my favorite Dinosaur, but I will probably continue to call it a Brontosaurus. 

We both did some sketches while we were there and of course I couldn't leave with out taking fashionable pictures and drawing a furry animal.
