A delicious representation of a binary black hole merger!
I’ve detected a honey-butter signal with significance of 6 sigma that fits the expected signature of a binary blueberry merger. Nobel Baking Prize, here I come.

To my #paleontology friends: Next time you write a review paper on rangeomorphs, I hope you'll title it "The Chronicles of Charnia".

Some expression studies for a character in a novel I'm working on--a very nice and decidedly non-evil dark wizard who's a bit of a foodie. #fantasyart

Shakespeare’s Henry V in a nutshell:
Henry goes to Agincourt and delivers the most epic battle speech ever, then goes to Paris and delivers the worst pick-up line ever.
Stick to the battlefield, Hal.

Concept doodle for a novel I've been working on. Valdovas is a millennia-old dragon from Eastern Europe who is arrogant, aloof, and disdainful toward humans--but that changes when he is forced to accept help from a family living on the American frontier. #fantasyart #dragons

I was listening to back episodes of I Know Dino (a fantastic paleontology podcast if you haven't heard of it), and Garret called Scutellosaurus "scutey" and this popped into my head, so I just had to draw it!
