In 1996, at the 2nd Dinofest in Arizona I met Mike Fredricks. He self publishes Prehistoric Times. At the banquet I sat at a table with Ned Colbert and his wife. His son came by but the table was full. I graciously gave him my chair. Ned said I didn't have to, I just told him, 'No problem, I just go bug Bakker'.

I thought about doing an article on How to Draw Dinosaurs for his magazine and asked if he'd like me to do so, he was all for it and have been doing so ever since. I'm eternally grateful for him an his editorial work on my articles (which I hope have gotten better). I've been writing these articles since then. The early articles are not available and I wanted to put together these volumes so they would be available. Some of what I talk about, I believe is important, for both the lay man and scientist. Drawing dinosaurs is easy, getting them accurate is difficult, especially when the science keeps changing and adding more discoveries and theories. I do my best to keep the readers up to date on the paleontological discoveries.
