Paleoart commissions opened! Feel free to contact me.

I have experience working on various books and papers, with the most notable artwork being the cover of the 4th issue of Volume 44 of the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.
People always draw Juvenile T. rex attacked by Nanotyrannus, so I did something different.

Why do people do this?

An ornithischian, perhaps a thescelosaurid or maybe an elasmarian, with what I'm unlovingly and unflatteringly calling "Skeksi face," with all due apologies to Brian Froud and the Henson Company.

#sciart, actually. No, really.

Quick sketch of Nanotyrannus lethaeus, based on Jane, ~45 minutes (slowed down towards the end because my cat likes to climb onto my lap when I'm using my drawing monitor.)

This time, prompted by nothing in particular (he lied) is the question of ontogenetic metaplastic transformation.

The amount of AI generated art in slides at this conference, primarily used by older scientists, is killing me. Scientists please. Don’t use these ai platforms to make your figures or slides. They look bad and I have yet to see them meaningfully improve the message of talks.

For most participants, the real meaning of evidence-based analysis in peer-reviewed literature hasn't set in yet. Whether they're arguing for the "right" conclusion or not, their goal is to win an argument and defend their feelings and aesthetic preferences.

When these kids argued (and will continue to argue) about Nanotyrannus or Spinosaurus or whatever else, the actual evidence isn't really in play. They take sides based on aesthetics—on the mental image of the prehistoric world that they prefer to envision.

Let me attempt to articulate something. As a former participant in the "teenage nerds talk about dinosaurs online" scene, I think some of us who follow paleontology as adults or do dinosaur stuff professionally care too much about the specifics of what's being discussed there. (cont'd)

Now we call a tyrannosaur on background as Nanotyrannus lethaeus.

Whelp, I suppose this is now Nanotyrannus lethaeus.

this should be considered a victory for evidence and proper evaluation of data and science. But I'm sure it'll be considered as vindication that wanting something to be true and arm waving about what someone else said they measured on a specimen no one else had seen, gave the *right* answer.

to be convinced. Now that has happened, people like me and @arctomet.bsky.social and @stevebrusatte.bsky.social are saying 'yes, this is convincing, Nano appears to be valid' *because* the scientific method was followed, and *not* because people *thought* that it was. In short...

that had already been dismissed or contradicted in the literature were the way to go and that we should have listened to them. But I and so many others always said that what we wanted to see was convincing data. Proper material, properly studied, with real measurements and testable data...

I'm pretty confident that certain online people are going to be cheering about how they were right all along on Nanotyrannus. Their take will be that they were right all along and their arguments, based on private specimens of uncertain provenance, photos of things without scale bars, and ideas...

Koolasuchus cleelandi Illustration!
In this Illustration, I have depicted a scene of koolasuchus making a desperate attempt to flee the dangers of a fellow Koolasuchus. The seasonal flooding has brought new hunting grounds, and so more competition and fights for those hunting ground rights #paleoart
