Tyler-saurus (Ellis)

by Godfrey J. Ellis – June 2020 acrylic 12×12

Tyler Ellis, 10 years old, is into the Mario video world in a big, big way. But he is also still fascinated with dinosaurs. We know because we checked with his mother. She said, “He’d love a painting of a dinosaur, but don’t make it too scary!” I painted this asTyler’s Christmas present for 2020, making a play on his name and the species of dinosaur.
