Alvarezsaurs were very bird-like dinosaurs, many possessing bizarre, stubby claw hands. Despite several decades of study, we still don’t know why these dinosaurs evolved such unusual arms. My latest for Smithsonian. 🧪

Recent discoveries about an alvarezsaur called Manipulonyx have drawn renewed attention to this group of bird-like, clawed creatures and the mysteries around their anatomy and behavior

Update on my pixel art guide for beginners:

Transferred all the information from Tumblr to a Google Doc, so anyone who doesn't have a Tumblr account can now read through the whole thing!
I also updated quite a bit of information too.
I hope it will help somebody!

I’ve got a new friend 🤩

As a kid, I had a parasaurolophus plastic toy and it became my favourite herbivore dinosaur. I am over the moon with this plushie from @palaeoplushies.com

It was so cool to exchange with the maker to decide on the colour patterns. She looks dope 😍

RUNAWAY TO THE STARS!

Trans-species foster kid Talita is an alien among (mostly!) humans.

Will a rogue AI convince her to abandon her post on the scrapworld of Dirtball, to seek a life among the stars??

Coming soon: Runaway to the Stars
Alien, tran-species foster Talita has enough to deal with on the scrapworld of Dirtball. And the slyly crime-y A.I. Bip isn't helping!

I've been playing this delightful home designer/picross game on my switch and loving it! They've put a lot of care into the picross controls and settings so it's really nice as a picross expert!
The puzzles are often different sizes (and sometimes weird like 18x12) which is very refreshing!
Squeakross: Home Squeak Home is available NOW on Steam and Nintendo Switch!

Use the materials you're hoarding.
Use that cute pen, the fancy tape, one of the 40 notebooks.
Draw with those alcohol markers before they dry up.

Art materials are meant to be used, not gather dusts.

"I'm afraid to waste it." Time spent using them = experience. And experience is never wasted.
