I Dig Dinosaurs Triceratops Design

I dig dinosaurs- especially Triceratops. Triceratops comes to us from the Greek language meaning Three-Horned face. These dinosaurs thrived in what is now North America during the late Cretaceous Period which was about 68 to 65 million years ago. For decades, there has been much speculation as to the many possible purposes for the three horns and frill. Defense against predators, courtship display and even the assistance in regulating Triceratop's body temp have been debated. For me this is a no-brainer. Since childhood I was awed by this magnificent beast with its armor plated skull and built in lances. As I played with my plastic dinosaur toys, I imagined and reenacted the epic battles against Triceratop's foe- the king of the terrible lizards… tyrannosaurus rex. I recall several classic dinosaur paintings and illustrations by Charles R. Knight and others depicting such a scene. As a kid, I most always pictured the Great Three-horn like a tank relentlessly marching forward and ending the conflict with its brow spears penetrating deep into the T-Rex's soft abdomen. I think that it had to do with thinking that T- Rex was the bad guy, the bully that would terrorize all the other dinosaurs in its kingdom. I always pictured Triceratops as the only dinosaur that could stand up to M. T.

Check out our cool I dig Dinosaurs shirts and stickers from Mudge Studios. Featured is a painting of a classic Triceratops skull with the slogan 'I Dig Dinosaurs' rendered as a prehistoric rock formation. Our I dig dinosaurs mercy makes Great Gift Ideas for Dinosaur Lovers and aspiring paleontologists of all ages.

A Little T. Rex in All of Us


 Most every child pretends that they are a T-Rex at some point, I certainly did. Pretending to be a Tyrannosaurus Rex is so empowering- especially when Mommy or Daddy are trying to push their hefty parental control around. When Mom tells you to clean up your toys or finish your peas... one just needs to curl those little fingers and roar like a dinosaur. The absolute power that defined your parents would just seem to be diminished by one's wild imagination. Anyway, I really idolized T. Rex when I was a kid. Actually, I loved all dinosaurs and could even name 'em all... way back then.
 To commemorate my childhood passion for these terrible lizards, I set up a Dinosaur Section in my Mudge Studios store at Zazzle. Mudge Studios' Dino Shop is dedicated to the Dino lover of all ages. For the smallest and youngest dinosaur lover,  We've just added our Little T. Rex Designs  featuring a baby Tyrannosaurus Rex in diapers with baby dino blocks that spell out T Rex. T. Rex designs include: My Crib Rocks, Here Comes Trouble, Poopasaurus Rex, I'm Really Big in Japan, I maybe Small, But I'm still Boss and More. Mudge's Little T. Rex Dino art makes great birthday gifts for the baby, infant and toddler.


We also have a Dinosaur section especially for the young paleontologist- The Dinosaur Hunter Shop.  Included are: I dig Dinosaurs, Fossil Man and Little Fossil Man shirts, mugs, tote bags and more for the avid dinosaur lovers. One of Mudge's popular Dino Designs features a Boy paleontologist armed with pick and shovel riding a mammoth Triceratops to a  major Dinosaur Hunt. How cool is that? Other young paleontologist apparel features a triceratops fossilized skull.


Our Mudge Studios shop at Zazzle also features a Dinosaur Sports Section.  Mudge combined two of his favorite subjects- Sports and Dinosaurs.  Mudge's Cool Dinosaur Baseball shirts and gift ideas Feature Ball Busta at the plate ready to launch a long ball with his dino spiked bat. Check out Smash Mouth, the tough dino footballer running the old pigskin down the field for a touchdown. See Slash the intimidating hockey goon who dominates the ice. Also- see Monsta Flush, a tall, wiry dinosaur in all his glory slam dunking a basketball. Mudge enjoys doing projects like this most, we hope that you enjoy the results...

The great thing about Mudge Studios' designs at Zazzle is that most of them can be customized and personalized to include a shopper's favorite slogan or even the name of a loved one. See the URNameOSAURUS design below. Thanks for reading and remember that Dino art makes great birthday gifts for the kid in all of us.
