  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. i fr enjoyed this one cuz the colour combo is one of my most favoured plus spinosaurus and alike dinos are just cool. used RGBA Wet and defaulr brushes and applied heavily over and over again in small sizes, to make the paint look kinda thick and with no huge brushstrokes - to make it look like made with wee brushes. still experimenting with digital oil paints, aye.

  15. My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

    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.

  18. A retro 1:1 Archaeopteryx model in the Nottingham Natural History Museum, Wollaton Hall (in my office).

    There are two in our collection but there's no info on where they came from or who made them. But I guess they are from the 1960s. Has anyone seen any others like this in other museums?

  19. 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.

  20. I was asked by the museum director to make supplementary #paleoart for the previously headless #fossil #gar #fish at the Earth Experience #Museum in Murfreesboro!

  21. Quick sketch based on the new paper on a juvenile #Gorgosaurus specimen with the remains of 2 Citipes babies in it's stomach. It's a beautiful specimen of one of my favorite dinosaurs and an important look into the diets of young Tyrannosaurids.

  22. Nostolepis sp. in Pridoli sea with some scolecodonts, crinoids and ostracods.

    Drawn while doing my Master's research. I find all of these in samples I have.
