@btobirds.bsky.social I saw these two wheatear near me (south Gloucestershire). Looks like a male and female. I saw today that there's no record of breeding anywhere near where I am. Worth investigating?

#Nothronychus graffami. This is one of the skeletals I did a while back for the old book project of mine. Here it is for you to enjoy! #Paleoart #Paleontology

A fairly complete #Hypsilophodon specimen collected in 1996. Mentioned in Coram (2017)... does anyone have any more information on this specimen? #palaeontology #paleontology

Only a few bones left to add! I'd like to do a #Eotyrannus blog spot to showcase how I reconstructed this fellow, and how it differs from my original one.

More progress on the #Re-otyrannus #Eotyrannus skeletal "update", going smoothly in between work and other projects.

Having a re-look at #Eotyrannus for a big project of mine. I think I've found a way to get rid of that awful long torso that I originally reconstructed way back for the Eotyrannus monograph.

Thought I'd use my blue-sky to post on things that I don't want shared on Twitter. Here's a WIP of a Tyrannosaurus poster I'm working on. Full body will be included - here's the head so far.

More progress, still a heavy WIP. Gonna add foliage, and I'd like to include the fissures somehow.

My first post on bluesky is a heavy WIP - I'm doing a vintage looking poster on Rhaetian (Late Triassic) reptiles from the UK! Clevosaurus, Terrestrisuchus, and Kuehnosaurus in bound... alongside others, and I'm open to suggestions for which taxa I should DEFINITELY include!
