A sudden, heart-rending and tragic loss... Rest in peace, Ben Bartlett, greatest and most beloved of all paleo docu soundtrack composers. You painted for us a glorious vision of lost worlds with unforgettable music, music that shall always echo in our hearts... www.youtube.com/watch?v=HArX...

Another commission I did for PBS Eons, here Gondwanaland during the Cambrian. #sciart #geology www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUDv...

#Artemis II but it's the Ordovician period, 465 million years ago. #blender #sciart www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

From #Apollo (left) to #Artemis (right), two glances at our only home, 54 years apart. One was our Blue Marble — full and vibrant. The other seems like a tiny, solitary jewel in the black cosmic ocean. Yet it’s always the same #Earth. The same heartbeat. That’s us… in both.❤️ 🔭 🧪

🚨 New paper I had the honor to illustrate! 🚨 Guilherme Hermanson and Serjoscha W. Evers take a look at the survivors of the K-Pg event among the turtles and besides size note that especially diet is something that sets them apart: many of them very shell crusher! paper below:

Result from the Joggins Formation #paleostream! This Canadian site is an absolute classic and even if you are not familiar with its name you probably know at least one of its major players...

Our paper on the mysterious Devonian organism Prototaxites has now finally been published! See the paper here (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...) and our explainer thread below! Prototaxites reconstruction by Matt Humpage

The shot from last video I posted… Beautiful light moment in Antarctica with the red sails 🔥🔥 #photography

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition, The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance Iconic imo

Good morning! Here are your 3 minutes of peace & calm. #OceanDevotion

FUCK YOU IT'S JANUARY!!!

Capping off the year with yet another prehistoric map: Australia during the Pleistocene ice age, an ancient land of bizarre Megafauna, as seen in the most recent season of Prehistoric Planet. See you all in 2026, happy new year! : ) #Maps #Geology #Sci-art #sciart #PrehistoricPlanetIceAge #GIS

de-modernizing the modern

Where volcanoes rule. The Karro-Ferrar large igneous province, in the Early Jurassic. #geology #sciart #paleoart #blender #space

Plienbachian variant of the western Tethys region (mostly Europe)

Early Jurassic - planet reconstruction (184 - 183 MYA) Another full world project that has been in the background for several months! See high-res images on my portfolio site below basaltweaver.myportfolio.com/jurassic Otherwise, here's a thread #sciart #paleoart #GIS #mapmaking #maps #geology

Made a couple of Earth shots for the latest PBS eons video, including the still in the thumbnail here. Represents Greenland 2 million years ago. There is a bigger Eons project which I was more heavily involved with, set to come out next spring, I believe. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfVP...

First time I've had one of my illustrations in a publication 👀 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

slowly grinding forward #mapmaking

Map of Europe during the most recent Ice Age (the last glacial maximum) - 20,000 years ago. Made with ArcGIS, Photoshop, Illustrator & Blender. Raw image is roughly 12K in size. #geology #paleoart #sciart #GIS #maps ( #PrehistoricPlanet !!whoo)

Yes, the #PrehistoricPlanetIceAge trailer is out today...

#Nanotyrannus #BackInHell

WE ARE...EXACTLY ONE MONTH (30 DAYS) AWAY FROM #PrehistoricPlanet S03...

Really excited for everyone to see this next year. My baby looks so good! 😍😍😍 So happy and proud to have been one of the talented group of people who worked in this show!

A fine addition to my collection: Mesozoic Art 2! There is an art style for everyone in here, absolutely magnificent stuff!! #Paleoart4ever

Prehistoric Planet Ice Age out later this year... such a thrill to put this series together, oh my goodness are you in for a treat :) Hopefully news on events and publicity coming soon! Sloths, cats, rhinos, glyptodonts AND SOOOO MUCH MORE!!

I am opposed to AI products and services because of the extra power they require... IN A CLIMATE CRISIS. I am opposed to AI results - texts and illustrations - because they've been created unethically, via theft and non-consensual use of the work of others. Share if you agree.

Half a billion years ago, oceans didn’t breathe steadily, they lurched between oxygen-rich and suffocating for over 100M years. New research shows deep time holds a warning: once oxygen is lost, it takes ages to return. Our seas don’t have that time. 🌊 🧪 #SciComm buff.ly/LV89Djv

🐟🪸Devonian Teruel🦐🌊 The Spanish province of Teruel has a rich fossil record, which includes remains from the Devonian period. Among these are early fish and marine invertebrates of many kinds that thrived in a tropical sea #paleoart#fossilfriday#devonian#teruel 🧵Thread for additional explanation

Illustration of an Ordovician Period ecosystem! Art from my new book: DINOSAURS 🦕📚 This book covers a lot more than just the Mesozoic Era, and goes through every geological period from Precambrian to today! Preorder book here: a.co/d/eFhlBx3 #sciart #dinoart #paleoart #fossiladdict

Been working on a Pleistocene ice age map for the last week, and this gets announced in the middle of it? Can't wait!

Map of the Yoldia Sea - the Baltic some 11,500 years ago. Being set in the early Holocene, this is by far the youngest paleo-map I've made so far (TBH, as a bit of a break from somewhat heavier projects.) #geology #sciart #GIS #maps

Ok… so the cat is out of the bag and I can FINALLY start talking about this. I just confirmed with Tim I can say that I did a lot of concept art, like this baby Spinosaurus, for the new docuseries #SurvivingEarth coming out in 2026! So excited for you guys to see this!

“AI represents an incredible opportunity to cut costs and maximise shareholder profits. We are hoping that our customers will be too stupid to notice or too apathetic to care”. Fixed it for you, Ted.

Got me a pretty little kids book on Early Jurassic dinosaurs - by @stavrossk.bsky.social

A heavily exaggerated look

I've updated my Late Cretaceous (66MYA) equirectangular basemaps on my patreon store to now also include the 43K resolution variant. Previously only 20K was available. These layers project perfectly onto a 3D sphere, and are made to emulate the NASA blue marble look of the Earth. #GIS #Sciart

A globe of the late Permian I made about a year ago, with a couple of patches. A few shots of it (as well as my old Carboniferous globe) will be featured in a 6-part video series on the Late Paleozoic, the P-T extinction and such. To be continued
