Two small 3D printed gnome wizards face each other, wearing pointy hats and each holding a staff topped with some kind of orb. Hand-sculpted in Blender, starting from a lump of digital clay.

I sculpted a little gnome wizard. Version one had a staff malfunction...

I got a #3Dprinter and now he's a physical presence!

Two dinosaur-themed 6-sided dice and a miniature figurine of Citipati, an oviraptorosaur theropod dinosaur from the Cretaceous Period. The figurine is roughly 1:60 scale on a 30mm base.

I got a #3Dprinter! I have an idea for a #tabletop #Dinosaur survival game - would anyone be interested in such a thing?

Dice are my own sculpt, and the #figurine is a Citipati oviraptorosaur model I made, printed at roughly 1:60 scale on a 30mm base. More to come.

Minnesota End of the Ice Age Sometime around 10,000 years ago An ancestor of the loons we see today paddles through a newly-formed lake as the glacial ice sheet retreats, and the moldering remains of a grand old pachyderm, a Woolly Mammoth, sink into the earth. I made this digital painting with Krita and a Wacom tablet, running on Linux.

A lone sauropod dinosaur strides along a rocky cliff edge while warm summer clouds stack in the distance and three rhamphorhynchoid pterosaurs fly high above.

I need to work on improving technique, but watercolor is really fun!

The words "Liberty, Equality, Community, Ecology" in white bold text over a sunset-colored gradient with an eight-point star icon in the upper right.

What kind of society do we want to build, if we manage to emerge from the dark current moment with possibility and hope?

A loon paddles over serene mirrored waters in the colors of the Minnesota flag, with an 8-pointed star illuminated in the sky.

May the arc of the moral universe bend swiftly towards justice for all of the good people of Minnesota and around the world who have been and are being harmed by the forces of tyranny and hate.

I'm saddened and horrified by what's occurring in my home state. It doesn't have to be this way. This seems like a worthy cause.

It’s been a long time coming but the new Pteros website is finally here! Over the next few weeks, we will be adding new pterosaurs, new exhibits and eventually 3D paleoglobes showing fossil localities. We will also be making a major book announcement in the coming months. Hope you enjoy!

A Utahraptor dinosaur running. It is mostly dark shades of near-black and brown, with yellow stripes on its tail, wing feathers, head crest and neck, white stripes on the sides of the neck, and white spots along the back and top of the tail.

My wonderful sister is a brilliant writer, and recently had a thought-provoking essay published at the Pittsburgh Review of Books, which examines how we think about the emerald ash borer, invasive species concepts, and belonging:

Any #Krita or #Blender artists who've made the switch from #Windows to #Linux? I'm considering the move - any recommendations?

Love this piece! So many great Brian Franczak illustrations like this one in the little Audubon "Familiar Dinosaurs" guide from 1993. Still really fun to look at!

A black and white Tyrannosaurus portrait with the words "No Kings!" and "Make Tyranny Extinct".

"Tyrant Lizard King"? Cool.

Tyrannical kings ruling the USA? Nope.

After innovative research in 2020 involving 3D models of the skeleton, the new Spinophorosaurus reconstruction may have implications for understanding the life posture of other dinosaurs as well.

Read the paper here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The discovery and study of this sauropod illustrate the scientific process; this dinosaur was first thought to have spikes on its tail, and the low posture often seen in traditional depictions of sauropods.
