2020 Advent Calendar [13] – Dinosaurs Doing Stuff

Dinosaurs Doing Stuff says everything starting from the name: this artist’s mission is mostly about bringing us… dinosaus. Doing stuff. Website here. Instagram here.

Or maybe you would prefer a Christmas dinner scene? Do you want your dinos ice-skating or decorating? It doesn’t matter: this artist has you covered.
