Agreed!

Illustrator Bob Walters and sculptor Paul Sorton often sell, or at least
display, their dinosaur works at Balticon, Philcon, and other mid-Atlantic
states SF conventions.  Hey, you can sometimes get on a panel to talk about
dinosaur art, and get a discount for the convention fee (or do the same
about dinosaur science... :-).

Speaking of which, anyone going to the World SF Convention in Baltimore this
August must come over to see the various dinosaur panels, buy Walters &
Sorton (and other) art, and get their copies of _James Gurney The World of
Dinosaurs_ autographed by Mike Brett-Surman & me!
