Dr. Peter Geisel's Journal.

November 7th 1856

I spotted a Common African Dragon while I was in the Southern part of that country. It was very wary of me, and I’m pretty sure that it didn’t like me watching it. I observed the specimen for six days before it went back into a more natural way of life. It must not have been aware of my presence after that time because it led me straight to it’s nest. I only had a few moments to inspect the eggs that I found there because the mother was very protective of them and didn’t leave them unwatched for more than twenty minutes at a time.

November 14th 1856

I have been able to inspect that dragons for seven more days and have found out many interesting facts. I was present at the hatching and I believe that it will give me deep insight into the lives and workings of dragons. I’m headed back to my home in England to look over my notes and rest a while. I have a feeling that the father dragon spotted me lingering around the nesting area the other day and I do not believe that it is safe for me to stay any longer.

Title and Description by: Me.

Although you might not know it, I hand lettered the note (not shown in this photo), and the labels on th little jars. It was really fun and I absolutely loved the results (I saved the labels, even though I don't know what I'll do with labels for Dragon Poison and such, haha).

The whole shoot took me about two hours (lettering and mixing included).
