D R A C O P E D I A Artist's Reference Guide to Dragons of the World Written and Illustrated by: William O'Connor Dragons have fueled the imaginations of artists since the beginning of time. In all cultures of the world these magical beasts have been depicted in paintings, frescoes, tapestries, architecture, stained glass, and every known medium. Today, dragons are as popular as ever making there way into movies, books and video games. Now, with Dracopedia, the dragons of the world have been cataloged, studied and classified in this one book by William O'Connor. With hundreds of drawings, diagrams and reference material, the author creates 13 full color paintings of the various dragon families. Using the book as a guide, the readers are encouraged to make dragons of their own and collaborate on adding to the Dracopedia themselves. Due for release in the spring of 2009, this web page will help show a sampling of the project as it develops.
