  1. Hi folks, as many of you might know, the successor to #TetZooCon, #Dinocon is happening this month in Exeter.

    I was scheduled to do the palaeoart workshop, but unfortunately I am in Australia for family reasons, and can't make it. The good news is that Joschua Knüppe has stepped in and I'm sure it will be great (better even!).

    You can book tickets here:

  2. Next August (weekend of 16th-17th 2025), the very first #DinoConUK kicks off in Exeter, UK. It's a descendant of #TetZooCon but way bigger, and this first one is very much dinosaur-focused. We're very excited about it and hope that you'll join us. Info and booking for accommodation is online at .... dinocon.co.uk/

  3. I'm here, but only occasionally. So... #TetZooCon is no more: 2024 was our last one. But hello #DinoConUK, starting August 2025. We're at Exeter University in August 2025 for two days involving stalls, merch, stands, displays, quizzes, talks and more relevant to #dinosaurs and related things. You can already register interest and book accommodation.... dinocon.co.uk/

  4. In the past I worked as a tour guide (I've had a LOT of jobs). This year I decided to run my own tour in conjunction with #TetZooCon - we called it #TetZooTour - and I'm pleased to say that it really worked out. Museums, zoos, science sites, natural history. A report.... tetzoo.com/blog/2024/10/13/the

  5. We just held the last ever #TetZooCon. A lot went down: it was, I think, the biggest and the best. Huge thanks to everyone who helped make it what it was. Here's a long write-up with lots of pictures.... tetzoo.com/blog/2024/10/7/the- What's next? Well...

  6. My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

    Continuing with 2016 and the TetZooCon theme, here's a video from the TetZooCon 2016 palaeoart workshop. After I talked about reconstructing Psittacosaurus, the attendees sculpted their own psittacosaurs. Choosing the winner was tricky!

  8. Four highlights from this weekend's Tet Zoo Con: the genius @john Conway pointing at me, Dave Hone with a Doug Henderson original artwork, me with Katrina van Grouw dressed as a Great Auk, and the announcement of DinoCon 2025 (see: dinocon.co.uk).

  9. Bruce the T. rex made a lot of friends on his trip to #TetZooCon. He got on well with Chris Packham and thought Steve White was delicious. Bruce is now on his way home to Wollaton Hall.

  10. I'm back in my studio after a few days away. Over the weekend was Tet Zoo Con, here are some of the talks, featuring Darren Naish, @john Conway, Katrina van Grouw, & Chris Packham...

  11. I tried not to overdo it this year, but I still got myself some nice swag at #TetZooCon!

  12. #tetzoocon purchases: two books!
    (One in Swedish to practice my language learning)

    A postcard print by @JoschuaKnuppe

    And a sticker with the T. rex skeleton print by Matt Dempsey (bsky.app/profile/sketchy-rapto) :)

  13. #tetzoocon stuff!
    A Swedish dinosaur book I grabbed and a "bad paleoart" attempt (which was harder to do than it looks like) :)

  14. In London for #TetZooCon! I get a nice view walking across Waterloo bridge in the morning.

  15. I’m getting excited for #TetZooCon in just a few short weeks! I had a great time at last year’s event.
    Here’s my experience of TetZooCon 2023 for those curious. It was definitely worth my first international flight!

  16. @theadhocracy Aww man :( Oh well, glad you're interested though. As for next year.... #TetZooCon

  17. Here's a writeup of the 2023 #TetZooCon, to give you a good idea of how these meetings go down and what they entail... tetzoo.com/blog/2023/12/15/tet

  18. We know that people attend #TetZooCon because they hear about it on Facebook, or on Twitter... but what about MASTODON, huh? WHO will attend TetZooCon 2024 because they heard about it via mastodon? Your chance for fame, or notoriety. Tickets and info: tetzoo.com/convention

  19. Yes, it's true, a new ep - 93 no less - of the world famous Tetrapod Zoology podcrasts is out, starring Badgerman (TM) @john and, er, me! We talk #TetZooCon and stuff what will happen there, BUT mostly dogman, and how it's connected to contrarianism, anti-scientific movements and even the manosphere and post-truthism... tetzoo.com/podcast/2024/8/13/e #podcasts

  20. If you've sent messages about
    #TetZooCon
    and we haven't responded, we haven't seen it, or you've sent it to the wrong place. Go to tetzoo.com/convention for contact info.

  21. JOIN US late September (and early October if you attend the tour), and please share and tell your friends. There is nothing like #TetZooCon and we appreciate (and need) the help we can get with promotion :) tetzoo.com/convention

  22. That's not everything and I'll be... tooting... about more #TetZooCon stuff in the run-up to the event, but be sure to come along. For a review of what happened at the 10th event (in 2023), see.... tetzoo.com/blog/2023/12/15/tet

  23. Other talks are happening too. Plus numerous stalls including merch, book sales and more. ALSO.... conservationist, broadcaster, natural historian and author Chris Packham is speaking, on Nextinction. I'm thrilled to have Chris with us :) Book here: tetzoo.com/convention #TetZooCon

  24. @mike Well, welcome back you mean :) Hope you're good. Hope you can come to #TetZooCon, we have Greg Paul and you get special mention in my talk on the deplorable Brian J Ford....

  30. Another sorta exclusive, we will be screening the new movie WHY DINOSAURS? as a special lunchtime event. This documentary movie has so far only been viewable at special screenings and red-carpet events, plus we're likely showcasing a brand new edit :) Here's a trailer .... youtube.com/watch?v=qmQiTi3U0t #TetZooCon

  31. A sorta exclusive for #TetZooCon 2024... we have Dave the Hone talking about his brand-new book DINOSAUR BEHAVIOUR, and - hopefully - we'll have copies present at the meeting ahead of the actual publication date. Woohoo! It features art by @serpenillus (who, sadly, isn't able to attend....) #dinosaurs #palaeobiology #paleobiology

  36. More of my #TetZooCon swag! While not exactly connected to the #WeirdBirds phenomenon, I feel that #BoneCabinChronicles by @sharkbitesteve fits nicely into the creepy & macabre tone of the trend, and it got there a couple years early! Its rhyming couplets and stark illustrations are a gruesome delight, and I can’t recommend it highly enough!

  37. It took me a while to sort my whirlwind of impressions into something coherent, but here’s my experience of #TetZooCon2023! I hope if I add nothing else to the conversation that my enthusiasm comes through, at least!

  38. Personally, I’d say James Pascoe’s #PaintaPliosaur event at #TetZooCon went rather swimmingly. 😉
    I made a #KenHam #Leviathan - #Kronosaurus version, just for giggles. 🤡 #tetzoocon2023

  39. So #Spinosaurus serendipitously stole the spotlight simultaneously to a scenic tour I took on a #steamtrain! Dinosaurs may not have roared, but I imagine a hiss powered by the lungs of a 7-ton #spinosaur wouldn’t sound too dissimilar to a vintage #locomotive blowing off steam. It would make for a pretty intimidating threat display! Too bad sound design is too niche for a #TetZooCon workshop…

  40. Darren @TetZoo, Memo @cmkosemen and I will be talking about our book All Yesterdays tomorrow at #TetZooCon, because it's the 10th anniversary of its launch.

    The painting is one of my best from the book, a Plesiosaur making like a wobbegong, using camouflage to blend in with the surrounding coral.

    There's no evidence the any plesiosaur did this. But then, we probably wouldn't know if they did, which was part of the point of the book.
