About the Design

John Peter Glover's Stegosaurus design is founded on the assumption that a bright color treatment in the tail-spike region might serve as an effective warning to any predator to avoid the powerful defensive tail. A current example of this approach is the brightly hued, diminutive yet highly venomous tree frogs found in today's tropics. Glover chose to utilize his characteristic free-flowing lines. Sold! applied in a manner that is harmonious with the dinosaur's 3D contours. These lines become apparent to the viewer when seen up close. From a distance, the colors appear softer and more natural but still exciting.
