Originally, I had planned to hopefully do 2 books. The first one about the tetrapods of the Triassic and Jurassic, and the second one about the Cretaceous. However, as I have worked on it, the first book has become humongous!

Hi old and new followers! I am Gabriel and I am a paleoartist and scientific illustrator. I paint both extinct and extant animals, particularly vertebrates (although I have a preference for extinct tetrapods 😋)

"Monkey" is a paraphyletic group, unless we include the apes.

"Fish" is a paraphyletic group, unless we include the tetrapods (mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibians).

So, if we stick to monophyletic groups, humans are monkeys, which are a type of fish.

Spent the morning reading about maximum body size in marine tetrapods, and how baleen whales achieve their remarkable size because of awesome feeding efficiency. Sorry folks, blue whale-sized marine reptiles are very unlikely: Shonisaurus et al. are likely as big as they got.

A finishing touch to my presentation!

If you want to hear some exciting news on the evolution of seals, I'll be presenting on Wednesday in the Marine Tetrapods session at 11:45am

The thing about coelacanths is that every single one of them LOOKS like they were there 400 million years ago for the birth of tetrapods, and they've been regretting it ever since

I am happiest when I'm drawing fish, but sometimes people ask me for tetrapods or plants or whatever. In the photo I'm standing next to an illustration I did while working in Javier Maldonado's lab, which I'm not sure will ever be published now.
