I love its stubby little legs and gilded wings, so cute! \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/sarah_pegasus_zps05f1537c-c65d2a80db.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003C!--more Click for more under the cut!-->\\r\nSo for the picture, I set the Pegasus atop this rocky outcropping - a tor - where earlier in the week I'd photographed his son, Sam.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/sam_rock_zps431e70f2-a461cdbf24.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nThat's how a lot of story ideas come about, taking a made-up creature and putting it somewhere I've had fun exploring. And hanging out with Philip always gives me lots of ideas (which is why I love making books with him). Even the grass on Dartmoor is inspiring, I want to sit there drawing it all day long. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/dartmoor_grasses_zps184729fe-e7b9abb080.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cb>In other news\u003C/b>: \u003Ca href=\"https://twitter.com/jamiesmart\">Jamie Smart\u003C/a> just linked \u003Ca href=\"http://www.boredpanda.com/deep-dark-fears-comic-strips-fran-krause/\">on Bored Panda\u003C/a> to some great comics by \u003Ca href=\"http://frankrause.com/\">Fran Krause\u003C/a> (\u003Ca href=\"https://twitter.com/frankrause\">@frankrause\u003C/a> on Twitter), about people's fears, some quite odd.
