Whilst the memories are still fresh, time for some (probably rambling) reflections on the inaugural DinoCon. There are so many people I’d like to mention by name, but I’m terrified of forgetting someone. But some are simply too important not to mention, so I’ll begin with them (1/n)

MASSIVE thank you to the amazing organisers, speakers, artists, stall holders and fellow attendees at @dinoconuk.bsky.social! It has been an amazing two days - my brain is at capacity! I have come away having learned lots, inspired to learn more, and generally in awe of the artworks. #dinoconUK

@dinoconuk.bsky.social was A.MA.ZING! Paleo peeps are creative, kind and so generous with their knowledge. I could barely keep up taking notes of all the interesting paleontology/zoology/fabrication information! 🎨🦖 #paleoart #dinosaurs #dinoconuk

The first DinoCon @dinoconuk.bsky.social went off with a bang. A bunch of dinosaur/prehistoric life related talks, stalls and activities to keep the palaeonerd community out of mischief for a weekend. Thanks to everyone for making it enjoyable and hope to see you again next year!

Second Suchomimus is coming along for @dinoconuk.bsky.social
and this is the female, with her offspring sheltering in her tail! Inspired by the classic DK model, with a heavy influence of Luis Rey, and my own preference for bright vivid colours! She’s part of my second charity auction piece 🏴☠️🖤🦖

Realised that I'd printed 96 different A3 prints for @dinoconuk.bsky.social, which is obviously not a satisfying number. So I made four more this evening to hit the big one-zero-zero. It includes some new Pteranodon #paleoart and, just for fun, an A4 print of a new ?Jeholopterus piece. #sciart
