A crop from THE EXECUTIONER'S MEAL, one of 49 artworks I painted for THE SECRET LIVES OF DINOSAURS, written by Dr Dean Lomax - Palaeontologist. It features a Nothosaurus giganteus taking off the head of a Tanystropheus hydroides - yes, there is fossil evidence for this behaviour!

Today's marine reptile artwork is a 2008 digital artwork of Corosaurus.

Today's marine reptile artwork is "Cretaceous Jaws," an acrylic painting from 2001; featuring Cretoxyrhina (top left), an adult Tylosaurus (top right), two Squalicorax (bottom right), and a juvenile Tylosaurus (middle left).

Remembering my friend Richard Forrest, a marine reptile expert, with a week or two of marine reptile artworks. I'll start with this old acrylic painting, called The Wreck, which I created for Richard back in 2004.

I'm sticking with the marine reptile painting theme for Fossil Friday. Here's an old acrylic painting of #Liopleurodon and #Metriorhynchus, called "Killing Breach".

The first mural I ever painted (1997) was at the Dudley Museum & Art Gallery, for a temporary exhibition of marine Jurassic fossils. Part of the mural featured a pliosaur; I reworked the pliosaur pose in my 2009 "Leviathan" painting for The Etches Collection.

Two old acrylic paintings of ichthyosaurs exhibited in Birmingham (UK): the 1996 piece was my very first acrylic painting for a museum, and the 2016 piece was my very last acrylic painting for a museum (I started painting digitally).

Here are some zooms into my "Deep Blue Buffet" painting (Part 1), for The Etches Collection. It features a bunch of species from the Late Jurassic Kimmeridge Clay: a dead sauropod, "The #SeaRex" (probably #Pliosaurus), #Hybodus, #Hypsocormus, #Metriorhynchus, #Aspidorhynchus, and lots of #Allothrissops.

Last Saturday night was a good night. I received the Lanzendorf - National Geographic PaleoArt Prize for Scientific Illustration at the 85th Annual Meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, in Birmingham, UK. A huge thanks to Vera Korasidis at the University of Melbourne for commissioning "Megaraptorian in Gippsland."

From the vault: my Arthropleura (Carboniferous) model for Muse - Museo delle Scienze di Trento (2015). This is a smaller one, just 50cm long, but they grew to be over 2m long.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

In 2022 Jason Osborne and I reconstructed the Early Oligocene toothed whale Ediscetus osbornei, and here are some zooms into the artwork I created for Jason. The two Ediscetus are chasing a school of Spanish mackerel.

Some zooms into my "Primeval Clevedon Bay" painting (2022), depicting fish, crinoids, othrocones, corals, gastropods, and brachiopods in an Early Carboniferous shallow sea. This painting was the first winner of the Marsh Palaeoart Award.

Here's a second painting of the Severn Estuary, this time during the Early Carboniferous. Called "Primeval Clevedon Bay," it features fish, crinoids, othrocones, corals, gastropods, and brachiopods. This painting was the first winner of the Marsh Palaeoart Award.

In 2011 a bunch of artists were commissioned to create some dinosaur stamp designs for the Royal Mail. It eventually came down to me Vs the great John Sibbick . . . and he won. Here is my Polacanthus design, which they kinda used, but with John's art.
