Writer’s Block
January 27th, 2007Work continues apace with the new biro-art book, but I’m struggling a little with the subject matter.
The problem is I need to draw a fair few different animals but they must meet a series of quite stringent criteria:
- Must have an exclusive or near exclusive diet
- Cannot eat frogs
- Cannot be a creature that frogs eat (flies, worms etc)
- Cannot eat flies or fly-like bugs or things that frogs eat (worms, slugs etc)
- Must be a natural diet not like ‘Dogs eat dogfood’ or ‘Mice eat cheese’
I thought it’d be quite easy to think of lots but having done a few I’m at a loss now.
Here’s a list of ones I’ve done so far or have planned:
- Done:
- Duck - pondweed
- Panda - bamboo
- koala - gum leaves
- Starfish - shellfish
- Mole - worms
- Aardvark - ants/termites
- Macaw fruit & seeds
- Whale - krill
- Ladybird (ladybug) - aphids
- Marine Iguana - algae
- Squirrel - nuts
- Puffin - sand eels
- Vampire bat - blood
- Stag Beetle - nothing!
- To do:
- Polar Bear - seals
- Penguin - fish
- Hummingbird - nectar
Any suggestions are very welcome, just send me an email
