For #FossilFriday: #paleoart of Protoceratops. This animal is often said to be the inspiration for griffins: though a popular idea, it's not compelling on account of ignoring a lot of historic, anatomical and geographic data. For more details, check out: https://t.co/xTq4pElHVL
New #Patreon post: a high-resolution look at my new #paleoart of Irritator bullying Anhanguera and Tapejara. I'm sure the Anhanguera is just tiring it out before delivering a knock-out blow.
Check this out, and loads of other palaeo content, for just $1! https://t.co/dwR0aK8RdJ
For #FossilFriday, here's a walrus posing for a holiday snap during a busy day in Pleistocene Doggerland (a landmass now under the north sea). The walrus is our modern species, but most of the other species are extinct. #paleoart
Signing off for Christmas. I don't have any festive #paleoart, so I'll just leave this snowy Yuletyrannus* (get it?) here to keep an eye on things. All the best for the festive season, whatever you're up to.
*It's actually Yutyrannus, but who can resist a good Christmas pun?
The #paleoart I created for @Irishpalaeo's brand new rhamphorhynchid taxon Klobiodon rochei. This was a big animal for the Middle Jurassic with a 2 m wingspan, a robust jaw and some awesome teeth. Read about it (and more about Mike's work) here: https://t.co/11uIsQegzp
For #FossilFriday, here's a sneak peek at the #paleoart I'll be exhibiting at the free #PopPalaeo public evening event on Dec 18th. Register here if you want to turn up: https://t.co/dama3O0doV. Art shows juv Gastoris, juv Tyrannosaurus, a Miocene vulture, and Rebellatrix.
Just signed off my post-review contributions to a paper on Pteranodon ecology coauthored with @Dave_Hone and @aeroevo. Resubmission soon, and publication at PeerJ not long after. Here's some moody Pteranodon #paleoart to celebrate.
New at Patreon: an essay about Charles R Knight, palaeoartist extraordinaire, and the shoes I have to fill with Life through the Ages II. No pressure there, then. #Paleoart here shows Yutyrannus in a composition directly lifted from Knight. https://t.co/wpm54R5n9n
Spending this #FossilFriday working on the last few pages of text for LTTAII, including the last page describing a scene of fossil animals. This honour goes to a Silurian marine scene that which I painted for @LukeHauser's thesis. Agnathans and early gnathostomes FTW! #paleoart
