  3. 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!

  4. Here are some crops from "Consuming the Fallen," commissioned by The Etches Collection. It features over 50 fossil species from the museum and the Late Jurassic Kimmeridge Clay.

  7. 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

  10. 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.

  15. My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

    Isotope studies show that juvenile Limusaurus were meat-eaters but adults were plant-eaters. This is from DINOSAUR BEHAVIOUR (2023), by Prof Michael Benton (published by Princeton University Press).

  16. My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

    The 2022 Korean translation of Locked in Time (by Dr Dean Lomax & published by Columbia University Press) commissioned me to colourise my 50 greyscale illustrations. "Victims of the Bloom" shows a mass stranding of baleen whales, sperm whales, seals, and fishes, caused by a toxic algal bloom.

    The 2022 Korean translation of Locked in Time (by Dr Dean Lomax) commissioned me to colourise my 50 greyscale illustrations. Here's "The Transient Oasis," showing a colony of Seirocrinus crinoids drifting on deadwood.

  24. My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

    In 2021 I created a bunch of vignettes for a new book, called SEA MAMMALS, by Annalisa Berta. They were quick to produce and a fun change from my big Mesozoic landscapes, which take weeks to complete. The animals here are not to scale.

  25. My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

    In 2020 I illustrated LOCKED IN TIME, written by Dr Dean Lomax. Here's my "Transient Oasis" painting, depicting animals in and around a colony of crinoids growing on driftwood.

  26. My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

    A 2010 acrylic painting, of Mississippian (the first half of the Carboniferous) fish and crinoids. I've lost the fish species but the crinoids are Abrotocrinus, Dizygocrinus, Dorycrinus, and Decadocrinus.

  27. This is my official #introduction that I am attempting to move my primary activity over here. I am a scientific #author and #illustrator. My educational background is in #zoology but my focus is on #fossil ecosystems and these days I am probably most well known for talking about #palaeobotany

  28. Working my way through some #Mesozoic marine reptile #palaeoart I have drawn. After yesterday's #ichthyosaurs, here are two #plesiosaurs - the extremely long necked #Albertonectes, and the huge predatory pliosaur #Kronosaurus.
