A coyote study rendered in colored pencils on a pale background. The coyote is laying down, hind end tucked in loaf mode, head on foreleg, gazing relaxed at the viewer. A section of the pencils used are laid atop the art.

A wolf walking through a red wooden Japanese architecture inspired structure down to mossy step stones in a body of water. The lighting is sunset and deep purple stormy clouds in the background.

An unfinished pencil drawing of a jaguar swimming underwater seen almost head on, body foreshortened. One back paw is visible. As well as the tail, indicating the animal is turning slightly in the water.

An arctic fox painted with heavy inks in the style of the game Okami with multicolored paint splatters all over the fox. A glass orb hovers above the fox filled with water with a floating paintbrush tipped in red. Long tassled and red beaded ropes are tied to the neck of the bottle and wave in the air.

A feathered deinonychus perches, arms spread, on a dead, bloodied old fashioned deinonychus. The feathered animal is brown with white spots and chest, with pale pink scaled skin. One sickle claw digs into the loose skin of the naked deinonychus, which is pale grey browns with dark brown stripe accents.

Out with the old, in with the new

This upset some people because theyโ€™re mad their favorite movie monster had feathers, as if updated paleoart ruins cool creature design.

I love continued change and how paleo artists interpret the science. Each discovery makes ancient animals seem more alive.

A scene of a bright sunlit kitchen with one adult coyote sitting on the tiled floor surrounded by five eager coyote pups. There is wood cabinetry and a white oven with the door down, and a sheet of fresh hot cookies is pulled out by the fireproof paws of the adult coyote. One coyote pup perches on the counter top, looking down at the enticing treats. Three pups are clambering atop the adult and each other with eager expressions. 

A large window with sheer curtains and a hanging spider plant is in the background. A sack of flour and metal mixing bowl can be seen on the countertop in the mid foreground, and in the foreground, the ears and back of head of the fifth coyote pop into frame.

Photo of a sun filled windowed room with many plays on a wood desk and bamboo table behind a chair covered in blankets and sheepskin. Art supplies like watercolors and a sketchbook lay scattered on the dark surface of the desk.

In the studio with windows open for a breeze (in January wtf), burning some incense (my โ€œdeep animalโ€ blend), treated wood with lemon oil and beeswax (bonus turpentine smell), other surfaces with my oakmoss sandalwood spray, and wearing aged vanilla attar while the occasional orchid scent wafts by.

Cut from a circular saw blade, a blue and white bird with a coppery eye stares at you with radiating patterns extending to their fluffy crest and chest.

A kingfisher made from a circular saw blade, paint pen, and spray paint. I sketched it, Echo cut it out and added the copper eye, and I painted it. This was a gift, but we'd love to make more birds like this! What birds would you want to see?

A hand holding a copper teaspoon pouring sprinkles on top of an iced sugar cookies on plastic wrap on a counterto. The sprinkle decor is chaotic, with many colors shapes and sizes of sprinkles strewn across the cookies.

I like to decorate cookies as if a glitter factory exploded.

Thatโ€™s awesome!! So few people know of it. They are one of my favorite reads ever, I reread them at least once a year and have made fanart sketches since they came out.
Thank you!

The drawing at the top features a trotting canine with star motes and a philodendron vine, the lower drawing has a sitting fox with mossy mounds, plants, and crystals with a stone wall and arch behind.
