A couple of friends and I started a JP band where our set would consist of our reinterpreted version of the entire film score - complete with atmospheric jungle ambient sounds.
While we all learned to play the main score, and sat down and watched the film together making notes on which parts we would musically interpret, sadly we never actually got any further... All just too busy with work and other bands.
But the dream.
The dream was always there...
"Mr. Hammond, after careful consideration, I've decided not to endorse your park."
The poster makes me not want to sell my Jurassic Park action figures, so...success?
Can i please have them?

I have multiple Jurrasic Park Velociraptor action figures.
I tended to pretend that their rigid tails were stingers.
Making them that much more frightening.

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
one of my favorite toys as a kid was my JP raptor figurine
when you pressed the button on his back his mouth opened and closed... or his legs moved or something i forget
anyways, he used to attack and eat my barbies in the tub

I have a case of the giant eye, it tends to get worse the more tired I get. Also using eye drops in just one eye, yeah that's a bad idea.
Haha I have the same thing, except I focus on the droopy eye. More droop = more tired, it's like a thermometer for sleeps.
Oh and every kid worth anything had some kind of JP figure! I had the small trex with BATTLE DAMAGE! You could pull away a chunk of his torso exposing the gooey innards. I longed for the large trex, but it was more monies.

You did this when you were what? 21 years old?
That's an amazing image.
You're imagining beavo in the tub?
it wouldn't be the first time someone imagined/drew me bathing

Creepy? Here? Never.
At the time many people called it the creepiest thought process ever committed to post.

You squeezed his legs and the head would life and the mouth would open.
There were multiple iterations of the Raptor toy, though that was the first and most populous.

I really like the shape this thing is making. (sorry!)

I never understood why the raptors (and other JP toys) had the JP tattoo on them. I just ruined the look of the toy to me. I suppose dinosaur toys aren't the most original thing in the world and you need the "JP" to seperate the cool kids from the poseurs.

The the wet and windswept isle upon which I grew up didn't get those adverts, apparently. I totally should have moved to the US a decade before I did, I missed out on some super important stuff.
Somewhere buried in my basement back home I've got the t-rex, raptor, dilophosaurus, jeep with the WINDOW THAT BREAKS OFF BUT CAN BE PUT BACK ON OH SHIT and MISSILE LAUNCHER for when you just have to explode a bitch and this shitty net launcher thing that went like 3 inches and some action figures of the kids and Dr Grant or some shit I don't know. Stupid t-rex has a fold in its tail from them making the box too small, morons.
There was a survey done here in the US a while back about "movie science" and a majority of Americans surveyed believed that the "science" in Jurassic Park, the ability to clone dinosaurs from tiny scraps of DNA, is something we can actually do.

A cartoon and a theme ride is usually all it takes to convince us of anything...soooo by sparing no expense we were taken in hook, line and sinker.

My buddy and I used to make stop motion movies using the Jurassic Park action figures. But...welll...we would make a fake olympics or something...instead of playing with them the way we were supposed to. God knows why his father even let us use the video camera when we were 8. We were soo lame. Of course...we also made parachutes for them and threw them off of his roof....often.
character design for a website
basically it's going to have different sections for people's interests "home and garden" "restaurants" "sporting goods" "entertainment"
that sort of stuff
and they wanted a "family friendly" feel to the whole thing, along with some characters to help brand it all
so i went with a family of birds since...you know, generic white family is just straight up boring.
i'm trying to sell them on the idea by using the birds doing bird equivalents, so like, for restaurants, have the birds eating at a bird feeder, that sort of thing
and their pet is an inchworm hahah
anyways, crits appreciated, this is what i sent them to try to sway them towards using animals
not necessarily birds, but i think animals make more lovable character mascots than people
Only crit would be the inchworm looks a bit like a snake due to its body not being segmented.
Is the site's name in any way related to birds? The only reason I ask is that using these navigation images is sure to make a lasting impression in a visitor's mind, so if they think of "that site with the bird family", will the url be the next thing that their memory coughs up?
Of course, Google regularly goes nuts with their banner display and nobody's forgetting their name, so it may be a moot point.

I remember that one of my first art assignments in middle school was to make a diorama of a lab. I did the hatching room from Jurassic Park.

"Look for the mark of Jurassic Park!"
I had the big Trex with battle damage. 8-)
Love the poster, btw.
