Last year I had the pleasure to interview with Scholastic Science World for their "Cool Steam Jobs" featurette. I'm very excited to share the splash page talking about my experience working with scientific experts and industry partners to bring dinosaurs back to life!
Triceratops model exploration done over the weekend. This is not based on a particular specimen. While we have some skin impressions from triceratops frills, I elected for larger scales along its surface to study different keratin textures.

Millions of years ago, California had a familiar yet alien landscape from what it sees today. This painting highlights the animals that may have passed through Death Valley long ago.
This painting features as a 4ft mural hung in the Copper Canyon Visitor Center in southern Cali.

While it's easy to make friends with a passing herd, it still pays to watch for what's lurking in the shadows...

The largest species of mammoth, the Columbian mammoth was one of the last large elephants to inhabit the grassland environments of North America during the Pleistocene epoch.
During the same period of time, the gompothere Cuvieronius inhabitted similar environments of South America.

I've been asked how I made Paleoart my full time career several times this year and the answer is; I didn't. This is the first dinosaur I've sculpted in two years, I mostly make other things.
