Nearly done with 2008. Last few posts before there is a gear change and a milestone in my career. For today, a stylistic look at the development of Iguanodon, which was created for a Discoverology book.
I have a question for vertebrate-palaeo-people: what do we think sauropods ate? What're the most recent thoughts/ studies on this? #paleontology#dinosaurs#paleoart#sauropods
This is the last day of illustrations from the 2008 book A TIME TRAVELLER'S FIELD NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS OF DINOSAURS (by Top That!). Here is Hypacrosaurus.
Pararhabdodon isonensis from the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian, 66 Ma), Spain
It's the end of the dry season and the sky carries the upcoming rain on a late afternoon.
Installation of our new 'Discovering Dinosaurs' gallery has begun, beginning with wall graphics that hint at what dinosaur specimens will be installed later. And we're constructing a base below our T. rex skeleton.
Happy #FossilFriday. Here's my illustration of Williamsoniella coronata, a bisexual bennettitalean cone from the Middle #Jurassic of Yorkshire, England. This plant had a cone with both male (bright yellow outer) and female (inner cone) sections. #paleobotany#paleoart#plants
A 2008 piece depicting Corosaurus. The only purpose for this was playing around in Photoshop and learning how to create painting and photo composite art.
Here's a painting (acrylic on card) of a Carboniferous coal forest, for a publisher back in 2008. Apart from the Hibbertopterus, which is wrong in a variety of ways, I think it still works okay.
In 2008 I painted (acrylic on card) a few dinosaur portraits for the cover of DINOSAUR HUNTER magazine, by Hachette. This was peak "awesomebro" for me and it began the process of an important stylistic change, but more about that another day. This is a monster-like Pachyrhinosaurus.

The 2008 book, A TIME TRAVELLER'S FIELD NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS OF DINOSAURS; I'm posting a few more of my illustrations (it is a fictional story, so be prepared for plenty of inaccuracies). Here is a juvenile Brachiosaurus.
