My Instagram account is Dionaea Design<\/a>. My domain name is dionaea.com, and I use the name in a few other places, too. Why Dionaea? What’s that about that logo I use? It all started when my imagination wanted me to draw a character. It turned out to be a flower; a carnivorous, mobile flower. When? That I can’t say for sure – the earliest documented memory of it, is from the last century, back in 1985.?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Dionaea sketch from ’89<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I never got so far as to develop a story around Dionaea and make a book out of it (as I was encouraged to do by a famous fantasy artist<\/a> \u2026).

It’s been a while since I’ve done anything with my Dionaea character, even though I’ve had ideas of what to do. I probably should try to do a bit more again. Maybe just something as simple as trying to paint it with acrylic paint?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time will show what I’ll do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
