  1. From the vault: my life-size Meganeuropsis model, a giant griffinfly (Meganeuridae) from the Early Permian Wellington Formation of North America. The wingspan is 71cm.

  2. My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

    My life-size Meganeuropsis model (2017), a giant griffinfly from the Permian, USA. With a wingspan of 71cm, it was as big (if not bigger!) as the Carboniferous Meganeura.

    The last post from 2017. A life-size Meganeuropsis model, a giant griffinfly from the Permian, USA. With a wingspan of 71cm, it was as big (if not bigger!) as the Carboniferous Meganeura.

    Last post for my life-size Megeneura (70cm wingspan, 2017); packaging and shipping a delicate model to the Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt, was nooooot easy.

    For Fossil Friday, some photos of my life-size Megeneura model (2017), for the Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt (70cm wingspan).

    Front view of my life-size Megeneura model (70cm wingspan), for the Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt (2017). It would have been a fearsome predator with a nasty bite and loud wings!

  7. My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

    I've built multiple life-size Megeneura models over the years, this one, for the Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt, was the first at the full 70cm wingspan (2017).

  8. My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

    Here's a modest-size Meganeura (approx. 30cm wingspan). I created this and a bunch of other life-size and scale models for MUSE Science Museum, in Trento, Italy (2015).

  9. My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

    In 2013 I built 23 scale and life-size models for MUSE Science Museum, in Trento, Italy. Here's a modestly sized Meganeura, from the Carboniferous.

  15. Two #Mazothairos chase off a passing #Meganeura in a late Carboniferous swamp, startling a little #Archaeothyris. A #Sclerocephalus crawls ashore a little ways away, not realising there's a hidden #Arthropleura right there.

    I've never really drawn paleoart set in the Carboniferous before, so I thought I'd start with the very basic 'giant bugs flying around in a swamp' trope.
