This year my charity sketch auction raised a total of £1036.12. My deepest thanks to all of you who supported and donated. The total has been divided equally between both of the charities, and the payments have now been sent.
Thank you again.

Happy holidays everyone!

I am feeling very grateful for 2025.
I am grateful for all the amazing, kind, and open-minded palaeo-people I was able to meet this year. I cannot tag all of you but if we are in close contact, you are aware of it :) And I enjoy every single interaction with all of you!

Here is my finished design for my monster of the deep 💙

I went through many colour variations to find the right ‘look’ and I ended up going for this murky swamp-like palette

What do you think?

Just the fact that this is not the first time makes me sick.

Please avoid at all cost..
it appears plagiorizer William Toosey tries his shit again, that's my Propalorchestes in his "Journey through the Cenozoic".
I suspect this is just the tip of it. Many of these are just other people's work with a new texture slapped on top.
Lots of JRC art here.

Yesterday we had a special #MonkeyCruise stream in honor of Jane Goodall! Her contributions to primatology and our understanding of animal intelligence changed the worldview of whole generations and her caring and critical voice will be missed.

Here the result of the Seaham Formation #paleostream, maybe the most relaxing formation stream we will ever have! This Carboniferous tundra wasn't chosen because of it's fossils, but because of its setting.

#Mosasaurus got all main bits

More detailing ahead!

Wow, it’s been 3 months again…

This is an amazing piece of artwork and seeing the process behind it is just a treat!
The timelapse of my Albertosaurus piece!
20 hours done in 11 sessions - all livestreamed on my Twitch! Linked in my profile - I'd love to see you there for next pieces!
Thanks for all the support on the drawing, can't wait for it to get to all the right people!

Me and my latest piece! #artvsartist
So so proud of this drawing! And very excited for the future! It was seen by many big pros in the sphere, lovely to see all of the reactions <3
The graphite is glowing a little in light of course.

I recently teamed up with Dino and Dog (www.myminifactory.com/users/Dino%2...) to make a 3D printable model of the rhynchosaur Fodonyx that I named way back in 2008. Nikola has done an amazing job and made some awesome renditions of it, including some showing speculative burrowing behaviours!

My take on Nanotyrannus.

It’s been a while since I’ve drawn something „just because“.
Nanotyrannus is real and here is my view.

I am not completely satisfied with how it turned out but I’m happy to be back with some own artwork again :)

Eotyrannus lengi: a very cool tyrannosauroid dinosaur from the south of the UK.
Also a messy eater.
Probably.
