What is #DinoCon? Well, it's what it sounds like you silly! Do you like #dinosaurs (and other things in palaeo / paleo), and can you make it to Exeter (UK) in August 2025? WELL THEN .... tetzoo.com/blog/2025/2/...

Heroes are made, not born

What’s that? Canon vs science? Or Dinos 🦖 vs Dragons 🐉? New #terriblelizards #podcast with @davehone.bsky.social terriblelizards.libsyn.com/tls11e02-din... #paleontology #dinosaurs

How can you not love the painting "Fighting with Stupidity" or "Mit der Dummheit kämpfen" by Max Frey, 1927.

New #paleoart just uploaded to #Patreon! Here's my take on an Ice Age icon, the woolly mammoth: Mammuthus meets mammutus. The hi-res version, WIPs and behind the scenes notes are available at www.patreon.com/posts/123179.... More #Pleistocene art to come soon! #sciart #fossils

How to tell a raven from a crow. An older guide I made with Dr Kaeli Swift. And yes that's an aileron roll, not a barrel roll, but only us nerds know that :)

Just a reminder I guested on the ever wonderful Terrible Lizards podcast this week with @iszi.com and @davehone.bsky.social , talking about the nature of fandom and its relationship to palaeontology. And yes I mention transformers like 3 times terriblelizards.libsyn.com/tls11e02-din...

Really fun show to participate in

Happy #FossilFriday! Today, we have a size chart of Middle Jurassic British Pterosaurs, which I made as an anatomical reference. Featured are Ceoptera, Dearc, Klobiodon (restored based on Rhamphorhynchus) and a basal pterodactyloid known from footprints. #paleoart #paleontology #sciart #pterosaurs

Oh this is good. I'm only a bit in but it's good so far anyway. It's about Gene Roddenberry and how to reconcile Star Trek if it came out of a man like that medium.com/@lancejparki...

It’s not often that I claim to speak on behalf of the dinosaurs that I illustrate. But just this once, on behalf of dinosaurs everywhere , F*ck you William Sitwell, and f*ck you The Telegraph.

Another terrible headache. Sixteen hours and counting. 😥😓
