I draw all of my digitally colorized illustrations 2.5 times - first as a quick watercolor, second when I laboriously draw everything with a real pencil, and a half when I color it in photoshop. Here's the sketch and finished illustrations of Ankylorhiza tiedemani: https://t.co/cBfoz4H093

@BStokkermans And the kiwis - even the birders - didn't see too impressed by it! I tried to explain that virtually all of our ENP shags/cormorants were mostly black and down under they're basically marine pheasants. Saw Otago shags all the time [before named by @nic_rawlence_nz]

New pub #5: @Blogozoic et al: testing for convergent evolution in the cochleae of baleen whales. Spoiler alert: there wasn't much! https://t.co/LCSDTqHBx2

New paper by Tosetto et al.: new cranial material of longirostrine 'swordfish' dolphins from Italy - Ziphiodelphis and Dalpiazella- morphology, paleoneurology, phylogeny, and biogeography: https://t.co/UT1xUyYwBp

#whaleontology ICYMI: I wrote a long blog post field guide for identifying fossil dolphin (Odontoceti) inner earbones - frequently found alongside fossil shark teeth, but for most folks, nearly impossible to identify - impossible no longer! Check it out: https://t.co/JFFh4a1rWW

2022: this year's advances in marine mammal paleontology! Finished this new blog post right on time. Let me know if I've missed anything. New whales, dolphins, pinnipeds, and loads of big shiny analyses. https://t.co/R7g7CkmW96

My last #watercolor of 2022: holotype skull of Daspletosaurus wilsoni, done as a Christmas gift for our good friend @df9465. ~6x4", watercolor and gouche, ~4 hours. #sciart #painting #scientificillustration

aaaand #ArtAdventCalendar day 15: Occasionally I get nostalgic for New Zealand as well - here is a watercolor I did during the final months of my Ph.D. program of the famous Moeraki boulders just about an hour north of Dunedin.

#artadventcalendar catching up! Day 11 - More fossil hominids: Australopithecus afarensis and Paranthropus robustus, watercolor and gouache, ~4x5" each, 2011 and 2022. #art #painting #watercolor
