I'm Nellie, I'm a someday-palaeoartist from Brisbane, Australia, and in the meantime I love drawing animals made from plants! I call these Biosaics (like bio-mosaics) and they're the best game of Tetris ever

Absolute thanks for the shout out. We defenitively have a lack of palaeoart that manages to be accurate, but also immersive, dynamic and atmospheric (ie as managed by Doug Henderson) . Can I highlight work of Chase Stone?

One thing the book DOES NOT SAY (and yet is often accused of saying, clearly by people who HAVEN'T READ IT) is "look at all the silly mistakes palaeontologists are making, ha ha ha!".

This is explained in the 2012 book ALL YESTERDAYS (by and me) where we wonder how living animals MIGHT be reconstructed by INTELLIGENT CREATURES WITH NO KNOWLEDGE OF MODERN DAY ANIMALS. Buy the book, it's a must-have.. https://t.co/Rt3EFHVGbl

I'm hardly a palaeoartist and I'm hardly good at it, but every now and then I do some stuff so I might as well join in
