This is the story of Dinosaurs and Face Painting at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Late in 1994, the author, a Dino Nut and artist [as well as a full time research chemist and adjunct professor] approached Children's with an idea to marry the two attractions for kids on the mend. Needless to say, a Life Experience was in store for him as he met children who were funny, happy, sad, sleepy, hurting, cranky, curious, articulate, but most of all, inspiring. In these pages are the adventures of over twenty years of visits. Some of their own words are below, the best thank you Tony could have received... "How'd you get that duck in there?" "I want you to paint my house." "Meow." "It's been a pleasure meeting you, sir." For context, and many more kids' quotes, peek inside.
