Greetings from New York City

Hello everyone,
Its wonderful to find this great forum.  My name is Patrick, I'm a PhD student in Egyptian Archaeology from New York City.  Besides my passion for ancient Egypt I've always loved Dinosaurs, its one of many childhood fascinations I never grew out of.  When I was a teenager living in Colorado I used to collect Dinosaur toys (almost all from the Carnegie line), but only ones of Dinosaurs that lived in Late Cretaceous Colorado (ok, and a lot from Montana/Alberta I'll admit, plus I didn't know the difference between Campanian and Maastrichtian yet, but still). Since then I've expanded my collection (too much rolling of my wife's eyes).  As a child I was fascinated by the art work of James Gurney and Douglas Henderson and to this day they've really influenced the way I see Dinosaur coloration. 

In any case I'm excited to learn more about these wonderful animals from you all.
All the best,
Patrick

Welcome to the site. I'm also a big fan of Doug Henderson, growing up I would stare at his artwork and just get lost in them. Still do actually. Great choice for a signature picture too, love Calvin and Hobbes.
