#palaeoart — Public Fediverse posts

Here are some crops from "The Twisted Feast," commissioned by The Etches Collection. It features a bunch of fossil species from the museum and the Late Jurassic #Kimmeridge Clay: a bait ball of #Thrissops, #Grendelius and #Nannopterygius #ichthyosaurs, diving #Rhamphorhynchus #pterosaurs, #Caturus, #Gyrodus, and #Pachycormus fishes, a #Dakosaurus croc, and three #Kimmerosaurus

One of my oldest acrylic paintings, featuring Kentrosaurus. Can you tell that Doug Henderson was/is my favourite artist?

This week's #NewBooks at the library: Some more unusual acquisitions from 2025.

- I purchased the last copy of the definitive retrospective on the #palaeoart of Zdenek #Burian from Albatros Media. Volume 3 focuses on his artwork of prehistoric humans. All these books are written in Czech, but the artwork is just lavish, and I'm a sucker for period palaeoart.

- I found a second-hand copy of the reissue of #AlexanderVonHumboldt's Views of Nature, released by the University of Chicago Press.

- #Spookslot - 44 jaar te gast bij de geesten, a Dutch book I hunted down via a friend, which was released to commemorate the closure of one of the most beloved attractions, Het Spookslot (a haunted house), in De #Efteling, a well-known Dutch amusement park I used to go to quite often as a child. I know they have completely rebuilt it into a new ride now with nods to the classic panoramic show, but I haven't visited it yet.

In 2011 a bunch of artists were commissioned to create some dinosaur stamp designs for the Royal Mail. It eventually came down to me Vs the great John Sibbick . . . and he won. Here is my Polacanthus design, which they kinda used, but with John's art.
