debating if... we make this an unhinged t-shirt for the shop?

I still very much want to have some form of medieval animal sticker sheet for the shop, though it will probably be the absolutely amazing medieval invertebrates (egg horse is pretty majestic too)

tiniest new science charms arrived! we didn't expect them to be more popular so we ran out during Christmas Markets. DNA, gel, pipette, microbe and tube to choose from 🧪 #SciArt #HumanMade

man we really hope we get a table @dinoconuk.bsky.social again this year, esp with all the recent (in our eyes) positive publicity! the con was such a joy last year, even for two introverts surrounded all weekend by people

2025 pin roundup! we definitely prefer and stuck with wooden ones, they just work so well for invert drawings (from silly to semi-realistic) wondering what #SciArt pins we should make next year... probably some science equipment and more weird inverts

today's Cambridge Science Park stall! somehow not as many Christmas baubles sold, but the #SciArt cat and dog scientists and moving neck/tail dinosaur planters were a HIT! 🐕🥼🐈

a bigger photo of the design itself 🧪 #SciArt #MolBio

done and dusted! #SciArt #MolBio t-shirts available in light and dark (with blacks and whites on top of the CMY) www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4... www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4...

I’ve been @petrathepostdoc.bsky.social - fied Yep the wonderful Petra dropped in at the @dipteristsforum.bsky.social at @zoologymuseum.bsky.social to share a small hug and splatter me with merch Beeflies, Tachinids and the wonderful Mosquitoes

look at this baby, she could be yours and NOT make your plants extinct... hopefully www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4... #SciArt #Handmade

Check out this awesome video that Tom Fishenden captured for us of DinoCon 2025! It was an absolute blast and we will see you all again in 2026! (updates still to come!) To find more of Tom’s work, see the links in the comments.

we might be trying some more silly extinct invertebrate wooden pin designs, let's see how they turn out! Callichimaera perplexa aka UwU anime crab Jaekelopterus aka shrompion Opabinia aka "Cambrian what are you doing again"

My #dinoconuk haul! (Missing a couple of items)

Cool Things I picked up (or was gifted 🤯) at #DinoConUK. Had a great weekend. Thank you so much to everyone who visited my stall and said nice things/ bought something!

Thanks to @bethverityart.bsky.social @neilgostling.bsky.social @dragonsofwales.bsky.social @sophiesaurus98.bsky.social @gaffamondo.bsky.social & @tetzoo.bsky.social for donating things to the auction and materials to the art event at @dinoconuk.bsky.social. We raised over £3000 for charity 🥹🖤🏴‍☠️🦖

What we have learnt from #LymeRegis #FossilFestival: need more small/todler sized t-shirts What we have learnt from #DinoConUK: need more medium/large sized t-shirts Will we ever get the t-shirt stock just right? Probably not!

So how was @dinoconuk.bsky.social this weekend? So many smiles, so many enthusiastic people engaging with Palaeontology and SciComm! It was a whirlwind of enthusiasm, passion, and chaotic activity! Constant joy, so much enthusiasm and inspiration, and it was such a pleasure being involved!! 🏴‍☠️🖤🦖

And thanks for the dinosaur stickers @sovanjedi.bsky.social, great to see you again after all these years. Pictured alongside a brilliant sticker of a rabbit riding an ammonite from @introvertebrates.bsky.social

Just got in from a weekend at #DinoConUK, a worthy successor to TetZooCon. Didn't win anything in the quiz this time (only got 25/30) & managed to be fairly restrained at the stalls but did get these from @dragonsofwales.bsky.social, @introvertebrates.bsky.social and @buttonandsquirt.bsky.social 🦕🦖

What a brilliant #DinoConUK 2 days of fantastic talks and a great vendor hall, hopefully vendors going back with many empty cases. My haul is below, just got to pack it well as a week in Devon camping to go before home.

All the merchant I brought #dinoconuk.... I may never financially recover, but emotionally rich

an extremely successful #DinoConUK met a lot of wonderful people and thank you for everyone that stopped at our shop to grab a little something silly posing with the velocinator 🤖

Day 1 @introvertebrates.bsky.social @dinoconuk.bsky.social absolute success! Thanks to a stampede of wonderful people certain shirts and planters running low!

The @introvertebrates.bsky.social all set up @dinoconuk.bsky.social #SciArt

Making our way downtown, driving slow because that is just the London Orbital... See you at @dinoconuk.bsky.social soon lads ladies and enbies!

and last one for now! these were all done as examples for people interested in our coloring book, watercolor pens and pencils, work great on the thicker paper the coloring book is printed on! check them in person this weekend @dinoconuk.bsky.social and get your own! #SciArt #paleontology

ONLY THREE SLEEPS LEFT!

new planter design for @dinoconuk.bsky.social just dropped, a little crystal seas colored thread Plesiosaur!

Been making prints to sell at @dinoconuk.bsky.social. This isn't everything. Please bring money and buy stuff, so we have somewhere to live again. #paleoart #dinosaurs #fossil #sciart #art #naturalhistory

Hello everyone! I will be tabling at DINOCON this August 16th-17th at the University of Exeter in England!! @dinoconuk.bsky.social My tablemate will be the amazing, illustrious plushie creator @thylacereal.bsky.social!

Just EIGHT days until #DinoConUK (weekend of Aug 16th-17th, Uni of Exeter). Talks, lectures, panel events, contents, quizzes, workshops, exhibitions, a huge vendor hall and more. You still have a few days to get tickets: www.dinocon.co.uk And follow @dinoconuk.bsky.social for news :) See you there!

10 MORE SLEEPS TILL DINOCON!

yessss yessss yessssssssssss 🎄🦖 now you too can have a fluffy upset t-rex on your Christmas tree!... for some reason... (bit of a tail paint chip, we're keeping this one)

the color combinations are becoming more unhinged as my watercolor pens die, but then again who can prove t-rexes were not dark purple!? Might finish one more as our stall example of the coloring book for @dinoconuk.bsky.social, but this could all be you with your own color combos!

so we ordered this poor lad and the Christmas ammonites as sparkly tree decorations and they still haven't arrived... they better make it on time for @dinoconuk.bsky.social !!

we also have matching night sky triceratopses ready for Exeter ✨🔭
