My latest blog post, which takes a look at a new paper, and it's overall implications for the origin of the flowering plants!

For the recently named Suskityrannus hazelae! This small tyrannosaur was found in New Mexico. A reconstructed skeleton has been on display for years, but is now joined by this beautiful (fuzzy!) life restoration by Benji Paysnoe. 🦖

throwback to when I misidentified a bone and it led to an... interesting reconstruction. Read more about how these hips did lie: https://t.co/CXagCLIC9N

BLIMP SHRIMP BLIMP SHRIMP
Aegirocassis was the largest Anomalocarid known to exist, and it had many blimp-like qualities. This drawing I made is meant to evoke images of the Hindenburg. Grey scale Anomalocarids are great.

When I 1st figured out how to increase the resolution in Photoshop, I had a field day w/ a super-detailed portrait of Meiolania that I gave a tortoise-like aspect. Then a couple months later it came out that they were probably semi-aquatic 🙃🙃🙃

I've not done much accuracy and realism are what interests me, but this 2014 T-shirt design for the (palaeontology conference) was great fun.

Hello 600 twitter followers :)
I updated my Ichthyosaurus, mostly adding definition to the environment and waves. “Hey y’all, prepare yourself, for the rubberband man”

Some fun Ichthyosaurus art to make up for the fact I missed the bus today. This art is best accompanied by the song “Rubberband Man”.

I know the raptors in Jurassic Park and The Isle aren't technically correct due to years of advancement with paleontology, but something about the old scaley raptors will always have a place in my heart. Scales or feathers, I love them.
