It's also obvious that Kim is very well informed on the ideas and conversations that have happened in the #paleoart world and among those interested in dinosaur behaviour and biology. Examples: the AllYesterdaysVerse, and omnivory in ceratopsians...
TCGD tells several different stories about our understanding of #dinosaurs, and often recounts scientific history. So we see lots of clever and often amusing references to scientists past and present. Check out Sagan, Gould and Chuck D....
Numerous scenes depict #dinosaurs in novel ways. There are references to time travel, hence appearances from the TARDIS and BTTF DeLorean.
Happy to see another addition to the 'terrestrial stalking #azhdarchid eats baby sauropod' meme, initiated by @MarkWitton. And check out these fantastic feathered #theropods... #pterosaurs #dinosaurs #paleoart
Moving on: the book includes a huge number of excellent and often beautiful depictions of #dinosaurs (and #pterosaurs). Here are just a few: The Cartoon Guide to the Dinosaurs - TCGD from here - includes HUNDREDS of illustrations... #paleoart #palaeoart
Kim is our guide, and the hero of this work. He's a professional comic artist, evidently has scientific training, and is obviously a big fan of natural history, science, and the history of science. The book includes numerous very amusing and informative self-portraits...
The art owes a lot to Halstead's 1975 The Evolution and Ecology of the #Dinosaurs (art by the amazing Giovanni Caselli)... #paleoart #palaeoart
Oh hey there memetastic Styracosaurus, I see you hiding back there. You look kinda familiar...
The newest ep of @SquaringStrange is on the esoteric and fascinating story of the Minnesota Iceman, and features insider info from mammalogist Ron Pine ... https://t.co/xqQko1VIpJ I'm pleased to get a shout-out: I've written about the iceman a few times ... cont #cryptozoology
Your reminder that the Dodo wasn't the only giant, flightless, island-dwelling #pigeon of recent centuries. Rodrigues in the Mascarenes was home to the #Solitaire, a related species with a taller appearance, more pronounced sexual dimorphism, and bony calluses on its wing bones.
