Perhaps I harp on about this, but nothing is more important to me artistically than the mark left by an actual creative experience. Real artists, writers, musicians, actors - they all leave a tangible, human mark upon a work through their contribution to it. I could never imagine losing that.

Ooh yay, just realised Bluesky supports videos now! Might as well post my latest animation then - 'Microraptor and the Nest Guard', a little scene from the early Cretaceous. I made a video detailing my animation process on YouTube too, so check it out if you're interested!

I went to visit my grandparents the other day and the first thing my Nan said to me was "great work on your podcast!"

I was like "what podcast?"

She goes "You know...your fish podcast"

I then realised she meant my Cambrian animation. Almost felt like going to YouTube and changing the title.

Made this animation of a very curious Pyroraptor examining a cycad seed a while back. I always imagined dromaeosaurs as having similar inquisitive behaviour to parrots for some reason, it just seems to fit them.

Abandoned Twitter a long time ago for obvious reasons, but now I suppose it's finally time I join the fray here! I'll probably post a few of my shorter animations and other random paleoart, as well as the occasional aimless thought, so stick around if that's what you enjoy!
