Skeleton Sketches

December 31st morning - with a few hours to spare for myself, I ran out to the Harvard Museum of Natural History in Boston. It's a fairly small building but the displays are packed!

Skeletons are quite fun to sketch too.

I'm waiting for neuro-surgery on my neck vertabrae, this reminds me of my aching neck and arm!!
Wonderful sketches-love the ram especially.

Awesome sketches Mike. Good to see New Zealand's sadly extinct Moa represented in there too!
