Maggie and I have been working together on comics for almost five years. I think these pages of a FeeJee mermaid comic that she drew and co-wrote are some of her more spectacular work. Colors will be added in the future.

Bigfoot looks suspicious as Anna walks out of the lab with an adult mastodon mandible and a baby mastodon mandible

The mastodon leg attracted the attention of “Shorty” who wanted a picture with the leg for his nephew

This afternoon gave the Cohoes mastodon left front leg another coat of spray paint in this picture captured by Brooklyn

Gave the Cohoes mastodon front leg an extra coat of spray paint this morning and set it before the fan to dry

Sophia begins working on the skull of an Ice Age camel from California that had its face ripped off by a bear. The original painted skull molded! I 3-D scanned this skull during my first visit to @westernsciencecenter

Stepping toward the left front leg of the Cohoes mastodon yesterday @rvamakerfest

Anna grabs a Smilodon skull on #FossilFriday

Anna is an @vcu @vcualumni from @vcuchs so happy to have a ram’s skull for an upcoming exhibit

Anna stopped by to pick up a few skulls today

Nas with her “Hallway of Curiosities” poster she designed for an upcoming exhibit. Thanks to @vcu_urop for producing the poster. No thanks to the wind that made this a more than necessary challenging shot.

The Virtual Curation Lab is getting ready for @rice_rva I asked Madi to draw us an opossum riding a mastodon to get us ready.

Jeffrey working on our Bigfoot replica alongside the Magdeburg Unicorn and a Sabertoothed Cat head

Maggie was in working on the FeeJee Mermaid comic and I mistook Reubens Peale for Titian Peale II (embarrassing since I wrote the underlying story, but, too be fair, Charles WIllson Peale fathered a lot of kids with his 3 wives (in succession)) @noodleypie.bsky.social

Liam and his shadow spray-painting the left front leg of the Cohoes mastodon

Alison part of the team tackling the left front leg of the Cohoes mastodon on #mastodonmonday

Dinosaur Sanctuary 7… set in a world where lost dinosaurs were found still living and them put in various zoos, with this one teetering on the edge of solvency. A #fossilfriday worthy manga

Anna reconstructed a Thylacosmilus head for the lab based on a 3-D printed replica #fossilfriday
