Zanabazar skull WIP

A snapshot of Fern the new bronze #diplodocus πŸ¦• at @nhm-london.bsky.social for this #MuseumMonday. It was great to finally see her & the new gardens when I stopped by a few weeks ago. The gardens are beautiful & filled with lots of 'prehistoric' plants - cycads, ferns, horsetails & pines 🌲🌿

thank you to @skyemcdavid.com for this excellent (and painstakingly researched) dsungaripterus skull diagram! dsungaripterus is one of my favourite pterosaurs and skye has done an awesome job with this commission πŸ₯°

So this is the reason I visited London!!! I was one of the runners-up in the Marsh #Palaeoart Award!!! I was awarded a Highly Commended for this piece depicting an earliest #Jurassic cockroach. Also, a massive congratulations to @nataliajagielska.bsky.social and Matt Humpage for their artworks too!

Prints are available at www.ciaraioch.com/artprints, if you'd like to support a local doodler - they're about the price of a fancy Easter egg and take a LOT longer to eat. 🐣

I very much would like pseudoarchaeology to go away, for people to stop listening to hacks like Graham Hancock. Watch this video from Professor Dave and support real archaeologists like Flint Dibble @flintdibble.bsky.social ... www.youtube.com/watch?v=JK4F...

Pliosaurus!

#ArtBoost today is for DJ Washington (I can't find him on BSky), palaeoartist and conservation biology graduate based in the US, producing striking, bold, sometimes stylized art of ancient animals. It sure would be incredible if a book called MESOZOIC ART II included a section of his art, right?

if you are on the left and you are not explicitly and committedly pro trans you are on the side of fascists, oligarchs and billionaires. it’s as simple as that

Waking up to instagram posts with photos of the six kids who burned to their deaths in a tent in Gaza last night, bombed by Israel, then looking at the news to see not much coverage of that event at all, gives me a savage feeling of dissonance in my brain, like the world has lost its moorings.

This is the first animation I created that I was really proud of, back in 2012. It shows a snapshot of the Hadean Eon, 4600-4000 million years ago. Not a holiday spot really. #SciArt #3Danimation #spaceart
