One of my favourite #Pleistocene mammals - and, yes, it has a role in #PrehistoricPlanetIceAge - is the big predatory marsupial #Thylacoleo. Here's an introduction to this fantastic animal.... tetzoo.com/blog/2025/11... #marsupials

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

Hazbin Hotel, it's a big cast so I went with the first GIF that showed up... hmm, could be worse, I'll take my chances with Lucifer

The running pose was very much a tribute to one of Todd Marshall's many incredible crocodylomorph depictions from the early 2010s. Thanks again to Armin Reindl for croc-advice!

The Kem Kem was home to a few terrestrial crocodylomorphs, and the 2m-long predator Hamadasuchus is one of the more intimidating ones!

We can draw dinosaurs, pterosaurs, mammals etc. pretty well now, but that didn't happen overnight. There's been 50+ years of discussion, reference creation, artwork etc. that has led to where we are now. It's enormously helpful if researchers meet artists half way to explain their subjects!

Working on invertebrate #paleoart at the moment, knowing I'm probably making mistakes despite best efforts, consulting primary literature etc. Inverts are much like fossil plants: there are few accessible resources on their appearance so we must wing it, or go down deep rabbit holes to restore them.

Researchers have detected chemical signatures of ancient microbial life in 3.51-billion-year-old rocks, pushing evidence of Earth’s earliest biology deep into the Paleoarchean.

and me. As you can see there the local insect fauna had some bangers. When you want large insect interacting with dinosaurs/pterosaurs: this is your place!

typical Solnhofen fauna form a long corridor through southern Germany but localities in France show similar preservation. The Atlmühltal Formation has iconic taxa like Archaeopteryx and Pterodactylus and was therefore the first of these formations we covered.

and bennettitaleans are the most common plants. The beaches were probably blinding white, consisting of sand that formed from broken down corals and sponges, as these islands were often not much more than reefs peaking above the waves. Formations/localities that housed the...

Popular images of the Solnhofen islands show them as tropical paradises, often with cliffs and tall trees. The opposite appears to be the case. The islands were probably small, arid, flat and had vegetation that can be better described as shrubbery. Small conifers...

All of these creatures being preserved in marine sediments. For one it makes it possible to show all the cool pterosaurs and other stem birds from here. On the other hand, more importantly, it offers the possibility to show the environment many of these animals occupied.

Child removals, especially Indigenous children have never been greater in Australia. The numbers are phenomenal as housing insecurity bites.
All of those children in unsafe environments are about to lose contact with the world.
I am terrified for them.

Never told him this when he was alive but realising how much everything I've written is simultaneously about my father, and also very deliberately not about my father. Even though I avoided writing about experiences of imprisoned minors, he/their ghosts still emerge in the stories of others.
