I am excited to reveal the cover of "My Animal Kingdom," a new book by Rebecca Brown that I had the pleasure of illustrating. Published by Frizzlit press, this collection of essays delves into Rebecca's personal encounters with various animals, in both funny and profound ways.

The time has come! Many of you have reached out to ask if I was making another calendar this year, and although it’s taken a little longer than intended, it’s finally here! Available for preorder now, featuring 12 new epic pieces of Paleoart.

Digital illustration of the late Cretaceous tyrannosauroid dinosaur Nanotyrannus lanciensis in a foggy flooded open forest. The dinosaur is surrounded by warm fall foliage, palmettos and reeds. It is pulling sharply at a bit of sinewy meat from the neck of the carcass of a large softshell turtle, Axestemys in some shallow water. A small possum-like mammal, Didelphodon, is disturbed by this, hissing and splashing at the tall dinosaur

A foggy morning in late Cretaceous Montana. The carcass of a large softshell turtle becomes a battleground for Hell Creek's two most ferocious apex predators...

I'm a little late to nano hype but I've got to fill my quota for one non-avian dinosaur per year

We're lucky to have her.

It's Trilobite Tuesday! The Devonian trilobites that emerge from outcrops aligning Bolivia's sky-high Altiplano plateau, like this Belenopyge, rank among the most difficult-to-obtain trilobites in the world—mostly because they're located more than 11,500 ft (3,505 m) up in the Andes Mountains.

The last leaves of autumn glow even brighter to a hungry pair of Therizinosaurus, bulking up for a long winter. These strange dinosaurs are some of my favorites, and though they're slow movers, they made it just in time to be included in my new calendar!

Take me back

This is what we use to trim Gordon’s nails! Effective? Yes. stress-free? Not at all.

Happy Halloween! Here's just a taste of my favorite vampires, from stage, page and screen.
. Bosco as Blood Countess Bathory
.The Vampire Lestat in his early Parisian era.
. Original Flavor Count Orlok
Which of your favorite vamps would you like to see me illustrate?

Turns out both Jim Henson and Frank Oz are very much my type.

A Kronosaurus, a giant pliosaur, sits on a sandbank. Water barely covers its four flippers, completely exposing the full bulk of the animal above the surface. Something, perhaps a fish tail or bird foot, can barely be seen disappearing down its huge gullet.

Rudolph Zallinger's Kronosaurus, done for the beloved 1960s Brooke Bond Dinosaurs tea card series, never fails to make me laugh. Why's he flopping around in the shallows? Can he get back into the water? It's surely meant to look intimidating and scary, but I just feel bad for the poor thing!

Truly formative nightmare/inspiration fuel.

If you doubt that dinosaurs still walk the earth, look no further than the Shoebill Stork. This piece evolved through a few iterations before landing on this final version, but I think it was worth the effort. Prints available in my shop!

Get a load of this wingspan.

Ridiculously awesome, Pam!

I’m a better writer than JKR could ever dream to be. I’m so powerful I’ve made people weep over the death of a mosquito. Put my latest on the stack of books by trans authors you could buy from and tangibly support right now.

“Oh did I see you posting A.I? Instant unfollow Are you trying to argue with me about it? Instant block” There is a small cartoon portrait of myself, a round-faced Asian guy with round glasses and short hair, saying, “I’m just not that patient.”
