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!

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).

It's marine reptile Tuesday!
Here's a digital painting from 2021, featuring Baptanodon, a Late Jurassic ichthyosaur found in Wyoming, USA. It was commissioned by The Children's Museum of Indianapolis. The greyscale image was my draft drawing.

Here's a study of the (probably) arboreal Suminia, commissioned in 2022 for a project I cannot talk about yet. It is a small therapsid, which I chose to make hairy but it might not have been.

A few zooms into my painting of Haootia (Stauroza), commissioned by McIlroy et al for their 2022 paper. The Haootia fossils from Newfoundland (Late Ediacaran, 550Ma), Canada, have the oldest known evidence for animal muscle tissue. Also in this picture is a reclining Charnia and some Parviscopa.

In 2022 I worked with McIlroy et al on a new description of Haootia (Stauroza), from the Late Ediacaran (550 Ma). The Haootia fossils from Newfoundland, Canada, have the oldest known evidence for animal muscle tissue. Also in this picture is a reclining Charnia and Parviscopa.

Here's my 2021 press release painting of the Rutland Sea Dragon, a huge 10m long Temnodontosaurus. Amusingly, a BBC news article called it the "Sea Dragon Dinosaur Dolphin," or something like that.

In 2020 I illustrated LOCKED IN TIME, written by Dr Dean Lomax. Here's my painting of two fighting Columbian mammoths, they will become locked together and die together.
This book would make a great Christmas gift! https://cup.columbia.edu/book/locked-in-time/9780231197281

WELCOME TO EDIACARAN MISTAKEN POINT (565Ma).
If you thought this environment was like a miniature forest of sea pens, think again. The palaeontologists at MUNPaleobiology are redescribing these wonderful creatures and some, such as Charnia, are now reclining!

A few photos from the day I spent filming at Mistaken Point, Newfoundland, in 2018. The crew were there to film the Ediacaran fossils and talk to the palaeontologists at Monument University Newfoundland.
