“I was pleased to have been selected (by Walt Disney Imagineering for Walt Disney’s Animal Kingdom) to do the first reconstruction of Sue [above and below]. I immediately consulted with the preparators at the Field Museum to find out Sue’s pathologies so that I could incorporate them into her reconstruction. I didn’t want to just paint another T. rex — I wanted my portrait of Sue to be that particular T. rex.”
My first boss at my college coffee shop job was named Sue! She was 6’-plus and was a totally decked out Goth who was married on the spirit plane to Herman Melville. She was awesome. Yeah, Sue!
