I don't know much about this pretty little wine-red beetle, other than I believe it lives in Peru. Cyclopeplus peruvianus is 10-14 mm in size, and has quite an impressive set of antennae.

Here it is, I have finished!
Thanks to for providing a reference image of the allosaurus fossil at the

Triceratops was a huge herbivorous ceratopsid dinosaur from the late Cretaceous. Here I show a fast sketch for a member for this genus.

Just finished colorizing this illustration of an extinct leatherback (Psephophorus) off the Santa Cruz coast 5 million years ago. Never again will I do jellies like this. Paper coming soon... digital/graphite, ~20 hours.

With the Mesozoic narrowly in the lead, here are a couple Late Cretaceous troodontids that I drew in colored pencil around Fall 2017: Gobivenator & Saurornithoides.

Did you know that bats have long thin muscles embedded in their wings? Our founder El worked with Jorn Cheney & the Swartz Lab to illustrate these muscles & their variation amongst bat families.

FINALLY have some new art to share!!! I've been working on this here and there in between commissions, and finally decided it needed to be finished.
Here's the Middle Permian pareiasaur, Bradysaurus baini.
