Finished up some plushie Small-Spotted Catshark/Lesser-Spotted Dogfish (Scyliorhinus canicula) this morning! These are all printed at-home- this gives me the freedom to use different fabrics and slight colour variations! They're for sale over here: www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/smallsp...

Sadly I can't be at #2025SVP, and thanks to all the tweeters for keeping us informed. Here are some 3D meshes of dinosaur skeletons I have created for research and outreach, based on 3D data from photogrammetry, lidar & first-hand observation. I hope to have prints of this available soon! #SciArt

The Slender-billed Curlew was declared extinct in October 2025. At #AEWAMOP9, delegates paid tribute to it, with this rare taxidermied specimen on view. Read personal reflections and testimonies from those who searched for, studied, and cared deeply about it: www.unep-aewa.org/en/news/reme...

Working on something FISHY

"babies are born worshipping unknown gods" is one of the most incredible dwarf fortress bugs i have heard of. its poetry.

Today we described three new toad species that give birth to fully formed toadlets, from the Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania! 🇹🇿🧪🐸 vertebrate-zoology.arphahub.com/article/1670...

So I've been busy finishing a bunch of FISHMAS decorations! I've put together some sets of four and sevens. If you'd like to hang a bunch of tetras from your fishmas tree this winter, you can find them over here: www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/fishmas

Very happy that I decided to try a Huion tablet and Clip Studio Paint.

My favorite plush works I've done #PlushArtist #transformers #plushie #macaddam

I should watercolour more plush patterns... It's so fun and I love how it looks

Your lab isn't a home until you've hung up your prized Tiktaalik. My Live, Laugh, Love wall decals gotta be in a box somewhere.

I've been working on a Spotted Eagle Ray pattern. Their shape is surprisingly hard to get right. I have two listed on my website, they are made of super soft minky and are weighted with plastic beans. www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/eagle-ray

A whole shoal of goldfish have made their way over to www.palaeoplushies.com These cute carp won't grow too big for your cuddles, and unlike the real thing they don't need a pond (or a real big tank) to be happy.

These male smooth newts are in their breeding colours! Is it the right time of year? No! But they're plushies so it doesn't matter. For sale here: www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/lissotr... The artwork for these were painted traditionally using watercolours and ink pen.

Gonna be listing a bunch of newts, goldfish and a few eagle rays today. I had planned on being a lot more productive this past few weeks but I've been knocked out by The Bug (a lingering bad cold) so instead I've been playing minecraft. I wish self employed people got sick pay.

GAR WEEK 2025 is November 3-7!!! Join @garlab.bsky.social & Oklahoma Dept of Wildlife Conservation to learn more about these amazing fish & freshwater conservation! We’re excited to hear from Maya Higa and more of your favorite conservation & #scicomm folks! Get those gar puns ready! #GarWeek

I've made two big cuddly plushie wild boars! They're for sale over on my website; www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/sus-scr...

Wildlife cameraman (and Strictly legend!) Hamza Yassin was at Loch Arkaig Pine Forest earlier in the year in a bid to film elusive wild boar. We were sworn to secrecy, but the series, Hamza's Hidden Wild Isles has now dropped on BBC iPlayer. 👉 buff.ly/otiLKL8 #LochArkaig

I thought it would be fun to plan a model railroad layout, even though I can't build it for budget, time and space reasons. New locomotives and wagons are in the 50-150-500 euro range, but more affordable second hand. It's probably a bit like the 40K market: stuff bought, barely used, then sold.

Gen 1 Lucario, take 2 - now more off-model than the last one!

so I was going back through old files and I try not to jerk off in the mirror too much about my own work but I really was touched by the noodly hand of the muse here

shouldn't have smoked that shit now my sleep paralysis demon is japanese ps1 thomas the tank engine

Happy New Year!! Just a few of my favorite works from 2024...

3 and a half years of isopod rolling down big hills! Isopod is finally coming out tomorrow! store.steampowered.com/app/2053910/...

The first few goldfish I've printed here at home are available on my website: www.palaeoplushies.com These plushies were designed and painted digitally based on photos, printed with special ink onto sublimation paper with my modified Epson Inkjet and then heat pressed onto fabric.

I've got some giant plush beetles looking for homes! Unlike their real counterparts they don't need to be kept on a substrate of leaf humus and rotten wood... Though this one seems to be enjoying the leaves! www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/flowerc...

Been painting scales again!!! This time my favourite domestic carp: goldfish! (Sorry Koi) Been working on these prototypes at home. Hopefully will have a few up for grabs next week! Then more colours in future...

I've got three prototype smooth newt plushies up for sale www.palaeoplushies.com The original artwork for these was watercolour on paper! Next time I'll design the pattern first before painting it because I ended up having to modify it more than I intended. Silly.

I've of my thylacines went home to Tasmania! Time to start the plushie reintroduction programme...

Here's our new thylacine friend from @palaeoplushies.com out exploring our forest.

I just want to look at pictures and read words. I don't like videos. I struggle to process information from videos. I like step-by-step instructions I can take my time to process. Sometimes videos are good in combination with this.

Yesterday we visited the last 3 caves of our trip; Bédeilhac, Niaux & La Vache, each with something special to see. Bédeilhac was partly damaged but fascinating. It even has a carved vulva with a stalactite placed in it, very symbolic. 😆

@danielobrien.bsky.social is there any chance of something like this working? between myself and @snowqueenofhoth.bsky.social we've done almost 250 of these so far and PRI really needs help in the next month or so www.science.org/content/arti...
