  3. NEW PAINTING TIME!

    Here is "Consuming the Fallen," commissioned by The Etches Collection. It features over 50 different species of marine reptiles, fishes, echinoderms, crustaceans, isopods, ammonites, belemnites, teuthoids, nautiloids, gastropods, brachiopods, bivalves, annelids, bryozoans, cnidaria, and microbial mats. There are also coprolites and burrows.

  4. The first mural I ever painted (1997) was at the Dudley Museum & Art Gallery, for a temporary exhibition of marine Jurassic fossils. Part of the mural featured a pliosaur; I reworked the pliosaur pose in my 2009 "Leviathan" painting for The Etches Collection.

  8. A few more close zooms into my reconstruction of the "sea-rex," a Jurassic pliosaur. Here we see the smaller sea-rex and some Thrissops fish. This piece was commissioned by The Etches Collection, which is where the spectacular skull is exhibited.

  13. My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

    In 2024 I designed the Ice Age Giants coin series, for The Royal Mint and the Natural History Museum, London. The coloured silver coins came with acrylic presentation blocks, here's my woolly rhinoceros block artwork.

  14. I promise I am working hard on commissions! 🙏 But I had this sitting, almost complete... I worked so hard on it and love it so much. I wanted you guys to see it. This is my li'l parasaurolophus, Fern. This image will be the banner for any blog posts related to her and her story, "Fern's Path".

  15. My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

    The 2022 Korean translation of Locked in Time (Dr Dean Lomax) commissioned me to colourise my 50 greyscale illustrations. Here's "The Mire Siren," showing a family group of Utahraptors becoming trapped in quicksand.

    From my 2012 illustrations, for the University of Cambridge's Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences, here's Deinonychus. Remember it is 12 years old, so please forgive the teeth and small wings, etc.

  23. #Ferrodraco was an #anhanguerid #pterosaur from #Australia that lived during the middle #Cretaceous. It was described with help from Adele Pentland, and its name translates to “iron dragon”.

  24. Aerodactylus scolopaciceps (named after the #Pokémon #Aerodactyl) is usually known as #Pterodactylus, as they are almost indistinguishable. But there are some subtleties in the ratios of #bone measurements that separate the two into different genera (Vidovic and Martill 2014).

    Fun Fact: The specific name, scolopaciceps, refers to the snout looking superficially like the Eurasian #Woodcock (Scolopax rusticola).
