My cover artwork for the 10th anniversary 4th edition of DINOSAURS, HOW THEY LIVED AND EVOLVED, by Darren Naish & Paul Barrett (published by the Natural History Museum, London). The sauropod is the wonderful Amargasaurus. It is available now!

It's marine reptile Wednesday!

Here is an old acrylic painting from 2021, depicting a Cretoxyrhina (shark, top left), two Squalicorax (sharks, bottom right), and two Tylosaurus (juvenile left, adult right). This was a private commission.

Here is my lekking male acrocanthosaurs illustration (2023) from the Courtship and Mating chapter of DINOSAUR BEHAVIOUR, by Prof Michael Benton (published by @princetonupress). An amazing fossil site in Colorado, USA.

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. Here's "The lady looks on," showing male theropods lekking to impress a female.

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.

In 2020 I illustrated LOCKED IN TIME, written by Dr Dean Lomax - Palaeontologist. Here's my greyscale painting of some lekking male acrocanthosaurs.

This book would make a great Christmas gift! https://cup.columbia.edu/book/locked-in-time/9780231197281

A conference sketch from 2015. This was a response to a conversation with Darren Naish, Mathew Wedel and @mike about the idea that apatosaurs might have had weapons or armour on their ventrolateral processes.

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.
