Although the sun on that world was dim, its light was enough to heat the entire dunes. The Dreamer would have a hard time exploring this region without adequate protection gears, as well as water bottles.

Juvenile school shark Galeorhinus cuvieri and the weird ray-finned fish, Dibango hiding in a sea grass meadow. Early Eocene Bolca site, Italy.

Another piece for the forthcoming shark book, this was inspired by a John Dory I saw during a dive I did years ago off the Dorset coast in south England.

This past weekend was Dinofest 2025 (Underwater Worlds) at the Natural History Museum of Utah and I hear it was a total success! I had the pleasure to be commissioned to do the banner art, which depicts the pliosaur Brachauchenius about to catch a hypothetical baby Nothronychus

A small bipedal dinosaur hunches over a dead branch against an arid, parched landscape. The dinosaur has yellow-orange quills over its back, face and tail, with paler legs and facial ruff. The snout is blue and the interior of the mouth yellow. Stiffened quills project upward from the shoulders. A collection of twigs and pinecones at the base of the image represents a bowerbird-like display structure.

New to the internet #paleoart: "Ubirajara jubatus", the strangely filamented Brazilian compsognathid famous for its history as an illegally exported fossil. Here, it's signalling to us with colourful mouthparts and a fetching bower of twigs and pinecones. Drawn for @palaeogames.bsky.social.

crab illustration seen from above. at first glance it's a bit like today's swimming crabs - wide carapace, normal proportions, but its slender claws are heavily serrated, some of the spikes are longer than the claw's thickness.

An illustration of a spade-toothed whale, a type of beaked whale. It’s colored gray, white, and black with a small dorsal fin. The whale is surrounded by three orange squids. The illustration is made to look like a photo taken in the deep sea.

An illustration of Mesoplodon traversii, or the spade-toothed whale. There are no confirmed live sightings of this species; everything we know about them comes from dead individuals.
