Xiaotingia zhengi gliding through the forest carrying a Gingko yimaensis leaf.
Peace, freedom, equality, democracy, solidarity, empathy and love… these beautiful words run through her head as a pair of Monolophosaurus jiangi follow their relative’s journey in amazement.

On 5th September, the gallery will be full of books! 📚 Okay, not quite, but we will chat with @speed.thief, @stavrossk.bsky.social, and @aguirrefirth about their processes of releasing a book. Of course with artwork created by them.

It’s almost here, my second book! 👀 ”När dinosaurierna tog över/ When the dinosaurs took over” picks up where the last book (”De första dinosaurierna/ The first dinosaurs”) left off. Now we enter the beginning of the Jurassic period and learn more about the dinosaurs that inherited the earth 🦖🦕
