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.

It's #FossilFriday!
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.

NEW ARTWORK TO START 2026

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.

A few more close zooms into my reconstruction of the "sea-rex," a Jurassic pliosaur. Here we see the smaller sea-rex and some Thrissops fish. This piece was commissioned by The Etches Collection, which is where the spectacular skull is exhibited.

My first ideas to the finished "sea-rex" artwork; commissioned by The Etches Collection, which is where the spectacular pliosaur's skull is exhibited. Also pictured is a smaller "sea-rex" and Thrissops fish.

New artwork drop for Fossil Friday!
Here's my reconstruction of the "sea-rex," a Jurassic pliosaur. This piece was commissioned by The Etches Collection, which is where the spectacular skull is exhibited. Also pictured is a smaller "sea-rex" and a shoal of Trissops fish.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...
Here's a cheat sheet for Megalograptus, commissioned in 2022 for a project I cannot talk about yet. The scientific consultant was Fiann Smithwick.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...
The 2022 Korean translation of Locked in Time (Dr Dean Lomax) commissioned me to colourise my 50 greyscale illustrations. Here's "The Mire Siren," showing a family group of Utahraptors becoming trapped in quicksand.

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.

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!

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).

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).

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.

From my 2012 illustrations, for the University of Cambridge's Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences, here's Deinonychus. Remember it is 12 years old, so please forgive the teeth and small wings, etc.
