I got it!

Great talk by @deanrlomax.bsky.social and @bobnichollsart.bsky.social at the @morethanadodo.bsky.social last night. Was a bit outfaced by the queue for signing but got to have a wander round and look at the wonderful collection.

Well, this is going to be fun.

review: sharply focused on fossils offering direct evidence of behavior such as predation/reproduction ... Lomax employs a nicely conversational tone ... enhanced by Bob Nicholls' artist renditions that bring the text’s stories to life

Many thanks for your kind words!

New arrivals to the paleo book collection, this time it is a @bobnichollsart.bsky.social illustrated pack. Michale J. Benton's Dinosaur behavior, and Locked in time by @deanrlomax.bsky.social .

With a new buddy for my two dinosaurs from @edwinaenvy.bsky.social we discovered @deanrlomax.bsky.social short but pretty complete book on dinosaur essentials

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

The 2022 Korean translation of Locked in Time (@deanrlomax.bsky.social) commissioned me to colourise my 50 illustrations. "Victims of the Bloom" shows a mass stranding of whales, seals, & fishes, caused by toxic algae.
