Three sketches of Triceratops in various positions like running and moving its head

Sketching Triceratops for a commission I am currently working on

These are sketches of Triceratops in various positions. It is always fun to go back to Triceratops

Single-panel comic drawn in brown pencil. Godzilla and King Kong sit facing each other on mounds of rocks, taking tea, with an elegant tea set on the ground between them. Kong: 'What is all this agitation? Are the summer gloves come in?' Godzilla, waving an unfolded letter with a ribbon and sealing wax: 'Why, an invitation, to be sure! To Mothra's garden party!' Kong: *Gasp!*

A bit of silliness from 2021.

Kong's first line is taken directly from the 2007 BBC adaptation of Elizabeth Gaskell's Cranford.

Size comparison between an indeterminate iguanodontian, Alanqa, Spinosaurus, an indeterminate titanosaur, Afrotapejara, Carcharodontosaurus, Apatorhamphus, Deltadromeus, Leptostomia, an indeterminate abelisaur, an indeterminate dromaeosaur, Axelrodichthys and myself.

When reconstructing an critterthis poorly known, I tend to go for a more conservative appearance, taking into account relatives from similar times/places. Unfortunately, footprints are incredibly difficult to assign, and ornithopod footprints aren't dissimilar from theropod ones.

Please welcome Cariocecus bocagei! A new, basal hadrosauroid from the early Cret. of Portugal! This guy is known from a pretty nice skull, which makes it one of the best ornithopod fossils from Iberia so far! I loved during this little portrait for main author Filippo Bertozzo...

Cover to my first art book collection Carbon Based. Hoping people will dig it & hoping it’ll allow me to catch up on some things & hopefully seek relief for my back problems I’m always whining about. Thanks guys! www.kickstarter.com/projects/oni...

Detail from a watercolour in progress of the head and part of the torso of a house sparrow.

I once posed the question on the other place, "What, for you, is a 'typical' bird?"

The sparrow was the most common answer. It was mine, too. I see them less often these days in London, but they were in overwhelming abundance in my childhood in Chiang Mai.

Two juvenile giant moa (Dinornis robustus) run energetically along a beach, creating some splashes as they go. Small waves roll in behind them.

Concept art of baby Spinosaurus for the upcoming NBC Universal docuseries Surviving Earth

Ok… so the cat is out of the bag and I can FINALLY start talking about this. I just confirmed with Tim I can say that I did a lot of concept art, like this baby Spinosaurus, for the new docuseries #SurvivingEarth coming out in 2026!

So excited for you guys to see this!

Detail of the head and anterior body of Shri rapax of the previous illustration

Shri rapax is the second member of the genus Shri and it is characterized by a shorter skull and robust hands with very powerful claws, especially that of the pollex (much larger than those previously known from other dromaeosaurs)

Painting on a golden-hued, buff toned square coaster of a pied peahen amid pink peonies. The peahen is mostly brown with barred feathers but has a blue-green neck, and, in common with pied coloration, has patches of white feathers interspersed throughout. She is in profile, facing left. The piece is lightly stylised with generally flat colours and fine detailing on the feather markings.

Gouache & acrylic gouache on MDF coaster, 98 mm.

This piece ended up taking a long time for what was supposed to be relatively ‘simple.’ 😅

The peahen’s neck is actually more teal-blue-green, but neither my phone camera nor my scanner were equal to capturing this.

Styracosaurus

Monochrome, sepia toned drawing in brown pencils on ivory toned paper. A unicorn with a rich, dappled coat walks quietly through the grass, its head and neck held slightly lowered, almost in line with its body. Its demeanour is gentle, almost cautious.

Detail from a work in progress. A patch of long grass beneath the legs of an equine-like creature drawn in brown pencil. The technique has more to do with the dark areas between and around the blades of grass than in delineating the grass itself. The overall piece is small and intricate.

The dapples were time consuming enough that I apparently decided to pursue the same approach for the grass. 🙃🤡
