Keep going.

Thanks Jaime
I’m glad you like the illustrations. I’ll pass your comments onto the artist.
Thanks for the link to your illustrations.
A FB friend post your photograph of a Pterodactyl. I gonna guess a lot of people are going to believe it’s real.
Searching the web, I found this link you might find interesting. Real or not it only adds fuel to the myth behind the Mysterious Tombstone Pterodactyl? http://www.burlingtonnews.net/thunderbird.html
I’m confused. I thought this artist was claiming to have created the pterodactyl image. There is a lot of controversy behind this image and I didn’t know if this artist is taking credit for having created it.
Hi Mark,
I did indeed create this image.I put it up on my Flickr page a while back and it was stolen and appeared on a few websites making various claims about it’s authenticity. Most intelligent discussions I’ve seen have concluded correctly that it’s fake as I deliberately used fruit-bat wings for it which are anatomically different to a Pterodactyl (less finger bones!) It’s has been fun watching it taking on a life of it’s own, although I never intended to pass it off as real.
Best, Chris
Oh ok you did a pretty good job! It confused me at first:)
Chris, I am a writer and would love to use your pterodactyl/thunderbird image on a Kindle book (electronic copy) to be published on Amazon, that my writer’s group has put together. It’s an anthology of short stories that have the theme of the weird, wild, and wicked west. One of the stories is about a mysterious thunderbird.
May we use it? I would give you full credit after title page.
Let me know, thanks!

Laura, I passed on your details to the artist this morning, did he get in touch?
Would you kindly post a picture of the original cowboys without the Thunderbird? (or tell me where the original picture can be found)
They’re compiled from several different pictures – there’s no one original image. I lost all the ref a while back when a hard drive died on me. I think there were roughly 15 – 20 pictures involved.
Hi Chris, if you’re still reading this thread, could you kindly get in touch with me? I am hoping to obtain permission to include your pterodactyl image in a project I’m working on. Thanks! – Kevin.
