I gripped brushes with my teeth and tweezer-like pinches of my fingers, and ran around naked with my knees folded below my chest. After getting the feeling right, I painted the figures spontaneously, trying to convey the vitality of the people and the animals, rather than their exact likenesses. For the “hunters” I drew four or five figures before resting for about thirty minutes to study more accurate illustrations I’d made earlier. For the flying pterosaurs, I swatted the paper with wing-like strokes. I drew large predator known as the “black thing” by directly spraying the ink from my mouth. In retrospect, process was a remarkably silly one, but fun nevertheless.
