I started my career as a traditional painter, and I used to hand-paint gigantic canvas murals (like this 58’x14’ one from 2015 (c) Blue Rhino Studio). These days I’ve transitioned to doing the same kind of work, only digitally.

Should probably remind folks I’m also an illustrator, you might see my work out in the wild on a cover like this recent one for Scientific American

Reintroducing myself here—I’m a #PaleoArtist (illustrator of natural history), sculptor/fabricator and lead #muralist at Blue Rhino Studio. Here’s a popular pic of me doing a small part of the job—creating #dinosaurs! #quetzalcoatlus

Reminder to my artist friends that this awesome site exists. It lets you pick a species of animal, set the orientation of the skull, and then search for pictures of that animal that match the skull position. Also, consider tipping the creator if you found it useful! x6ud.github.io#/

Honestly don’t know where to be putting my energy these days. Posting new work feeds the AI beast, besides the algorithms seem to severely limit the reach when I do, compared to past results. Anyone out there have advice here? #art #artist

#FossilFriday Scientists sequenced Siberian #mammoth genomes from genetically healthy animals to those who were isolated on Wrangel Island before extinction. What they found has implications for endangered animals today. 🦣 (Art: @bzaiken.bsky.social) arstechnica.com/science/2024...
