Very excited to find the advent calender with my NHM artwork already in our local Marks 'n' Sparks! Had to buy one even if it was just for the cool cutouts on the back! Now I'll be able to act out the classic T.rex v Trike confrontation!

A new piece of an old piece. Of the dozen or so Magic: The Gathering cards I did, the pygmy hippo is apparently the rarest, and the original art is long gone. I was, however, commissioned to do a new version. This meant gridding up a card to reconstruct the new version as accurately as possible.

Spinosaur v Sarcosuchus

A4 private commission intended (apparently) to be turned into a tattoo.

The client requested gore and a nod to the JP3 Spinosaurus.

Emperor Hawk Moth

60th birthday present for my moth-loving sister (it's her favourite type).

A3 mixed media on tan paper. Bit of a first for me and nice to be able to post some non-shark art.

A different form of dinosaur learning today: Study sketches from 2022's "Mesozoic Art," edited by @sharkbitesteve.bsky.social and @tetzoo.bsky.social. After looking at all these animatronics and museum mounts, I felt the need to stock my visual memory with some cutting-edge modern visualizations...

Belantsea.

A very weird cartilaginous fish from the Bear Gulch Formation. The candy-striped fish in the foreground are Aesopichthys, the others are Discoserra. The squid-like cephalopods are Syllipsimopodi.

Another piece for the shark book.

Thanks to the kittens for their help.

Another shark piece. In heavy seas, a huge Cosmopolitodus bungles an attack on a family pod of the little baleen whale Piscobalena. Pisco Formation, Miocene Epoch.

I've often wondered, on a piece like this, how many lines I do. I photographed the first makes made. 08.50 1st August.
