Pterodactyl Dinner Plate 12
It all started with a pterodactyl. Although this is the 12th porcelain plate design, this is where Calamityware began. Don Moyer, artist and all-around funny guy, says, "In 2011, I was drawing my grandma's blue-willow plate in my sketchbook, and I added a pterodactyl for fun. That’s what got all the Calamityware projects started."
Designed by Don Moyer and initially launched as his 22nd Kickstarter project in 2016.
For dino-nerds only. Yes, we know that pterodactyl isn’t the right term. We should be calling the creature a pteranodon (large body, crest on head, short tail, no teeth). But there are three problems with that term.
- No one seems to know what we're talking about. But when we say pterodactyl, folks get it right away.
- Pteranodon is bland and somehow doesn’t convey the mystery and sinister glamor that pterodactyl has.
- We're old and our capacity to absorb new stuff is pathetically limited. We still think Pluto is a planet.
