  6. Life-sized paintings make no sense on the internet, of course, because device-makers and software vendor never got together for a goddamn standard about how big things would be displayed because fuck everyone.

    (Much like the “send something to someone right next to you” problem that they’ve fumbled for decades.)

  11. "Corythosaurus casuarius" — 2012

    Corythosaurus casuarius was a duckbilled dinosaur, from the Late Cretaceous of North America. This a a completely reworked version of the first painting I ever did, back in 1995 or so. It owes quite a lot to a drawing of Parasaurlophus in a redwood forest by Gregory Paul.
