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!

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.

Here's a cheat sheet for Megalograptus, commissioned in 2022 for a project I cannot talk about yet. The scientific consultant was Fiann Smithwick.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

A few zooms into my painting of Haootia (Stauroza), commissioned by McIlroy et al for their 2022 paper. The Haootia fossils from Newfoundland (Late Ediacaran, 550Ma), Canada, have the oldest known evidence for animal muscle tissue. Also in this picture is a reclining Charnia and some Parviscopa.

In 2022 I worked with McIlroy et al on a new reconstruction of Haootia (Stauroza), from the Late Ediacaran (550 Ma). The Haootia fossils from Newfoundland, Canada, have the oldest known evidence for animal muscle tissue.

In 2022 I worked with McIlroy et al on a new description of Haootia (Stauroza), from the Late Ediacaran (550 Ma). The Haootia fossils from Newfoundland, Canada, have the oldest known evidence for animal muscle tissue. Also in this picture is a reclining Charnia and Parviscopa.

WELCOME TO EDIACARAN MISTAKEN POINT (565Ma).

If you thought this environment was like a miniature forest of sea pens, think again. The palaeontologists at MUNPaleobiology are redescribing these wonderful creatures and some, such as Charnia, are now reclining!

A few photos from the day I spent filming at Mistaken Point, Newfoundland, in 2018. The crew were there to film the Ediacaran fossils and talk to the palaeontologists at Monument University Newfoundland.

I made a thing. My wife is a paleo-nerd, and this is getting some laughs in the group chat. That it rhymes with Kamala Harris is just icing on the cake... #anomalocaris #paleoart #DNC #oprah #memes

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

In 2013 I built 23 scale and life-size models for MUSE Science Museum, in Trento, Italy. Here's Anomalocaris, which you might have seen in books and online credited to someone else – but it's one of mine!

My art in 2023 (12/12)

December: The Zanclean Flood. 6 million years ago, the movement of the continents cut the Mediterranean off from the oceans. Since more water evaporates from the Mediterranean than it receives from rivers, this resulted in the sea drying up and becoming an incredibly deep, dry, salty lowland. Until 5.3 million years ago, when the Strait of Gibraltar formed and the entire sea was refilled in a massive flood.

My art in 2023 (6/12)

June: Anomalocaris, Dragon of the Cambrian. The realisation that most Cambrian creatures were tiny gave me the idea of a whole bunch of them hiding from a 40 cm long Anomalocaris while in positions reminiscent of a D&D party facing off against a dragon.

#Anomalocaris #Cambrian #Opabinia #Hallucigenia #paleoart #MyArt #MyArtIn2023

A day after an earthquake caused a landslide that allowed the ocean to start flooding into the great dry abyss to the east,the water's power violently widens the gap and now a thousand Amazons flood into what will soon be the Mediterranean Sea again. The local animals have come to a large rock that will one day be named Gibraltar for safety and a view. Except the #Pelagornis, they're more interested in the fish falling down.

#Archovember Day 23: Kunbarrasaurus ieversi

#paleoart #palaeoart #dinosaur #art #dinovember #Kunbarrasaurus #Ankylosauria #Ankylosaur #Thyreophora

Mighty #Anomalocaris stirs, spreading dust and terror throughout the #Cambrian sea. #Opabinia, #Hallucigenia, #Pikaia, #Canadia, #Burgessia, #Marella, and #Elrathia can only hope the rocks and ridges they cover behind will hide them.

Inspired by a display at the Naturkunde Museum Stuttgart that perfectly showed off the difference in size between Cambrian critters. At 40 cm, Anomalocaris was a leviathan.
