I use Mixam for most of my stuff. I have had a couple of quality-control issues (very few, given how many books they’ve printed for me over the years). When there has been an issue, they’ve remedied it quickly.
Think Ink and Page Bros are also good, but slightly more expensive.

There is something so utterly magical about stop motion (and about T.rex, obviously).
I am so grateful to artists like Lucas for keeping the medium alive in the digital era.

A photo of my kitchen worktop. Laid out on it are dozens of little squares of paper, with thumbnails of illustrations for my new book.

AI is so cooked.
I just finalised the page layout of my book in minutes, using little squares of paper AND MY BRAIN.

Really old dragon painted. I hope I’ve done enough to stop any lead rot leaching through. She’s a metallic dragon, so some verdirgis in areas, and also tried to blend metallics into fleshy tones. Will try and take some better pictures another day.

A digital portrait of Pendraig, a small bipedal dinosaur, shown with a long reptilian snout and covering of coarse, filaments on its neck.

Happy St David’s Day from a very, very old dragon. Pendraig milnerae, a 200 million year old dinosaur, was discovered in what is now the south of Wales.

A digital portrait of Spinosaurus aegyptiacus - a giant predatory dinosaur, distinguished by its long, tooth-filled snout, distinctive head crest and large sail on its back.

Spinosaurus aegyptiacus.
This one deserves a little explanation (not about Spinosaurus - we all know plenty about them!) This illustration began a couple of weeks back as a depiction of the newly-described S. mirabilis (because I love a palaeoart bandwagon as much as the next dino nerd). I subsequently became aware of the issues surrounding one of the co-authors of the paper. Until that situation has been properly clarified and dealt with, especially in regard to future research, I felt it would be inappropriate to continue. And so I decided to rework the entire piece to portray the OG spinosaurus - aegyptiacus (turns out there are a LOT of differences between the two species).

I know many of my peers - whose perspectives on these matters I respect deeply - have considered these same issues with care and sincerity, and have come to a different conclusion. I think that is wholly. The only real failure would be to not consider these issues at all, and to blindly allow our natural enthusiasm for a cool new dinosaur to override the bigger picture.
Anyway, here’s aegyptiacus for you. I hope you like them.

Aegyptiacus - the OG Spinosaurus.
An illustration for my new book (and a few words of explanation).
