Art from my childhood and teens

luzulaSo I lived with my parents for almost two months, and spent some of that time looking through the huge pile of art that I made in my childhood and teens. It was interesting to see what occupied my mind, though sadly, a lot of it wasn't dated. Let me share some of it with you...
First, one of several unicorns with wings! I especially like the little wings on the hooves--I mean, Hermes has wings on his sandals, right, so why not? Also the little twinkly star at the end of the horn.
A hoopoe (härfågel). I think I've never seen one, so I was probably browsing bird books.
Awww, pterodactyls with bright colors! They look like they're on one of the small islands in the archipelago at the coast where I live. This one is dated; I was 14.
When I saw this one I immediately knew that it was fanart for Peter Dickinson's The Blue Hawk--it's the scene where the main character climbs out of the huge ravine out onto the peaceful sheep meadow. See the precipice in the foreground (that sheep is walking awfully close to it!) I loved that book, and still do.
The great thing about this one is how the princess (fairy-princess? she has a wand...) is combined with sauropods browsing from the treetops. *g*
Another dinosaur! I think this was drawn free hand, but I did NOT compose it myself--I was copying an illustration from Robert T. Bakker's The Dinosaur Heresies, which I loved.
Awww, fan art for The Secret Garden.
A shoe, probably for a school assignment--shoes did not greatly occupy my imagination, I think.
A self-portrait, fairly accurate, I would say.
A cat! There were lots of cats, even though we didn't have one. Hardly any dogs until we actually got a dog, after which there were lots of drawings of her.
And finally, a dragon resting on its hoard; I can't tell if it's fan art for something, or just a dragon in general.
...I hope this turns into a meme. : ) Not sure how to tag it though, I don't have an art tag.
