after multiple years of keeping my mouth shut, I can finally release the art i made for Kotevski (@dinoman-jake.bsky.social) et al., (2025)'s recently published paper they describe carcharodontosaur and unenlagiine material from australia, as well as new megaraptorid material #AusPalaeo #paleoart

Heard something big is on the horizon. It is subjected to change as the paper has yet to come out but I’m already getting ready to draw the new guy. Literally so excited for it, I can’t even contain it. #Paleoart #WIP #Sciart #mosasaur

I got to volunteer for the @alfpaleo.bsky.social pop-up stand at the California Botanical Garden Bird Festival. It was an absolute joy to talk to people about the Museum, as well as educating both kids and adults about dinosaurs and paleontology. I indefinitely look forward to volunteering again.

Last year I created this illustration of Globidens for an article describing finding this genus in northern Texas. Working for research communication is definitely one of the most rewarding parts of paleoart for me #paleoart #mosasaur

Happy #MosasaurMonday from the Pit of Despair (end stage PhD work), here's an appropriate lizard: Tylosaurus "Heath" on display at the Perot Museum in Dallas. Does "everything's bigger in Texas" apply to its mosasaurs? I've got a few upcoming public talks addressing just that...& more. Stay tuned!
