I'm happy to be finally able to share this #Stegosaurus commission for The Gaming Beaver a few years ago.

Here's a closer look at the art work that I did for The Gaming Beaver's RIVER RUMBLE! Tournament video.

Velociraptor RAPRU and Triceratops TORI.

Check out the video here👇

It's a fun video and was a fun project to work on🦖

I started off my day with morning sketches at the Beneski Museum of Natural History at Amherst College.

A quick sketch of Troodon, based somewhat on a Secretary Bird.

If you have some free time, take a walk on the beach with Kentrosaurus... just be sure to walk closer to the front than the back.

I had a dream last night that I saw a small family of Woolly Mammoths🦣 walking through my back yard and I failed to take a picture in time because I couldn't get my shoes tied fast enough to follow them.

Almost as good as David James Armsby's incredible animations are his "making of" videos for each one of the Saurian series.

I'm thinking of a large theropod just punting a small prey item to death rather than biting them.

You know, for kicks.🤣🤣🤣

Watching #LoveDeathAndRobots season 4... I knew it was the cats that were ultimately responsible for the robot apocalypse.

Just came across the 1985 special Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs on Youtube. This was one of the VHS classics that I personally had on repeat in my house. A great piece of paleomedia that has almost been lost to time. 🦖

Its NEW SKULL DAY! Just got a 1:1 #Velociraptor skull from @rubrennanart.bsky.social

I also picked up his new update on the classic Invicta British Museum of Natural History #Megalosaurus figure from the 1970s.

WTF am I looking at? First "dire wolves," and now "T.rex" handbags.

I'm assuming they did this to get money for the actual project, which appears to be lab grown skin to be sustainably harvested and used for clothing and alike.

Feels disingenuous.

Fearsome to fashion: Your next accessory could be made from real T. rex
Experts say the chances of growing T. rex leather anytime soon look less than likely. When scientists do eventually lab-grow fossilized dinosaur collagen, it will be expensive.

I'm currently trying to decide if the annual GNSI Visual Scicomm Conference is worth me going to. I have never been to an event like this but it sounds interesting.

More info if others are interested and didn't know about it:

Public Service Announcement:

Please be aware, today is #VelociraptorAwarenessDay!

When you are not Aware of Velociraptors, then that is when they get you... not from the front, but from the sides, from the two other floofballs you didn't even know were there.

They go for the ankles first.

I am finally finished with my reconstruction for #Dromeaosaurus albertensis.

I too often want to just sit on a branch and munch on a lizard.

We had a skunk get hit and, I guess, bounced into our front yard. Needless to say, the smell was permeating the surrounding area and we were about to call public works to possibly clean it up, luckily this local Turkey Vulture was on the case before we got around to calling.

Go Team Dinosaur! 🦖
