Some zooms from my 2022 painting of a Thescelosaurus (front lit by the low Sun from the west) amidst the Tanis devastation caused by the end Cretaceous Chicxulub asteroid impact. Also features are Triceratops and Quetzalcoatlus.

Here's a 2022 painting of a Thescelosaurus (front lit by the low Sun from the west) amidst the Tanis devastation caused by the end Cretaceous Chicxulub asteroid impact (the orange glow from the south). Also features are Triceratops and Quetzalcoatlus.

In 2020 I won the opportunity to create a series of Dinosauria coins for The Royal Mint and the Natural History Museum, London. Here are the three coins – Megalosaurus, Iguanodon, and Hylaeosaurus, – before production.

I built a fourth and final copy of my juvenile Iguanodon model in 2011. I've since destroyed the mould because it had become damaged and it had quite a few anatomical inaccuracies.

The last post from 2009: one more photo of my juvenile Iguanodon model in a forest. I like these photos (more than most in appears) because they help me almost hear and smell the Cretaceous.

In 2009 I took my juvenile Iguanodon model into a forest for a photoshoot. I got a few beeps and shouts from passing cars when I carried it roadside! It later went to the World Museum, Liverpool.

Before delivering this juvenile Iguanodon model to a museum, I took it for a day out in the Forest of Dean, in Gloucestershire. Here are some photos.

Finally got around to actually #printing things. The #fish are as expected. The #daedon is fine, I'm still working on mammals and the next one will be better.

Tried carving a #daedon today as an exercise in branching out from fish. Mammals don't come as easily to me but it's good to practice.

December: #Mazothairos chase a passing #Meganeura in a Carboniferous swamp. It’s been a little while since I did a full #paleoart scene, backgroubd and all, and I wanted to explore a different period than usual. #myart

July: #Synapsids and #sauropsids through the ages. This one delicts the amniote common ancestor species splitting into two back in the Carboniferous. Each subsequent panel moves one period forward and shows a synapsid and a sauropsid interacting in some way. The sauropsid is always on the left and the synapsid is always on the right. #paleoart #evolution #MyArt

Here's my 2022 art summary!

I spent much part of this year on self care. But I managed to paint just for fun regardless😊

Two #Mazothairos chase off a passing #Meganeura in a late Carboniferous swamp, startling a little #Archaeothyris. A #Sclerocephalus crawls ashore a little ways away, not realising there's a hidden #Arthropleura right there.

I've never really drawn paleoart set in the Carboniferous before, so I thought I'd start with the very basic 'giant bugs flying around in a swamp' trope.
