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!

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!

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.

This week's #NewBooks at the library: I went to DinoCon and treated myself to Sean Hennesy's Speed Thief Volumes 1 and 2, and two art portfolios by Steve White, Dread Sovereign and The Bone Cabin Chronicles

Had a brilliant time with my family at the Lyme Regis Fossil Festival last weekend. So much to see and do! Also pleased (relieved!) to have had a full crowd at my talk on the Sunday afternoon. 😃

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.

Animal: Phytosaurus
Testing brushes with Photoshop. Done in 2 hours.
Phytosaurus teeth were found in Lithuania (my country), so I decided to try and draw it. Though I think my picture is very very speculative in regards of anatomy :D
