Cold on the way to work this morning? Consider yourself lucky that you didn't live during the most extreme ice age of the last 550 My, at the end of the Ordovician Period. About 50% of marine genera went extinct, and stocks in the refrigeration industry plummeted. #paleoart
Going to start uploading some drawings of various extinct species (excluding dinosaurs). Here's the Thylacine, a carnivorous marsupial native to Australia and New Guinea. Thought to be extinct since 1936. #extinctspecies

This painting for my @lethbridgegallery show centres around the Black Throated Finch which will become extinct should the Adani Mining Grou…
