It was a great honor to be in this video by @edgescience.bsky.social about what makes the Tyrant Lizard King so special. Plus I can now say that I've been in a YouTube video with @arctomet.bsky.social. #120YearsOfTrex #TyrannOThon www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE5F...

@edgescience.bsky.social is putting something together to commemorate #120YearsofTrex. Anyone is free to contribute by sending in a video ansering the question "What does T. rex mean to you?" youtu.be/WWqawo1qwAA?...

Some more T.rex stop motion practice after work. It was getting late and I had no clue how to end the shot, so.. "Boop" The winder rig in the backgroung is from Kinetic Armatures

Charging Ankylosaurus - Wayne Barlowe

With the trailers for both #WalkingWithDinosaurs and #JurassicWorld Rebirth apparently showing swimming Spinosaurus, I thought it might be time to go over why I think these animals were not good swimmers. After all, it's something I've written a fair bit about (with @arctomet.bsky.social) 1/many

New #paleoart for #FossilFriday: battling Borealopelta with deep (instead of "high waisted") armour and pigmentation. There's a scientific rationale behind this #ankylosaur #art, which you can read here, along with viewing the hi-res and WIPs of the painting. www.patreon.com/posts/130274... #sciart

Some new #paleoart to welcome my 1000s of new (bot?) followers: here's Cooksonia, the First Vascularised Plant™ from the Silurian. Contra. classic reconstructions, the stems were probably too narrow for photosynthetic pigments, which were instead located in gametophytes at the plant base. #sciart

Ankylosaurus charge - Wayne Barlowe From the book - Alphabet of Dinosaurs. This organization of osteoderms was the prevailing hypothesis for Ankylosaurus until 2003, when a group of scientists re-evaluated the evidence based on the then large amount of new data from new relatives.

Présentation d'un MOC – Deinocheirus #MOC #lego chezyannoch.com/moc-deinoche...

Updated 🧪 #paleoart reconstruction of the #fossil #mammals short-faced kangaroo Simosthenurus occidentalis, after sitting with and incorporating some feedback. Still very uncertain about the reconstruction, but it's a start. I really wish for a detailed study of the group to happen!

Here’s the sketch vs the final piece of my Mothman illustration~ My initial sketches are an absolute mess most of the time, & I’ll usually make multiple passes & layers to build it up before inking starts! #art #illustration #cryptids #darkart #monsterart

The scientific name for the oak rough bullet gall wasp is Disholcaspis quercusmamma - "quercusmamma" which can roughly be translated to "oak mommy milkies" because whoever that named this wasp thought its galls looks like a tiddy. #insect en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disholc...

New paper out in Geology. Fossil feathers mineralized in zeolite from the Colli Albani (Pleistocene, Italy). Out article in The Conversation tell the story of this remarkable historical and iconic fossil from Italy! theconversation.com/the-30-000-y...

Emergency paleontological salvage work begins at the forthcoming electric substationsite at St George Dinosaur Discovery Site /Washington County, UT. Need power equipment. Unique urban site. 2nd most significant dino tracksite in NA at risk of losing most basal Jurassic bonebed in North America.

Oh the wonders of the sea, nearly forgot to post this! Obruchevodus, a weird chimera relative, going after a cephalopod. #paleoart #sciart #paleostream

I'm just biding my time to get a Dorito sponsorship to name an animal with dorito-shaped teeth, Doritodon.

Saduria entomon. Got a couple of these collected as reference material a few years ago. Common in the sea here (Ostrobothnia, Finland) #MacroMonday #Invertebrate #Isopoda #crustacean #Biodiversity #macrophotography

💙a metallic blue rove beetle for your Monday morning💙 fantastic Plochionocerus sp seen during a 2019 trip to Ecuador - which produced some of the wildest Staphylinids I've seen 🙇 www.inaturalist.org/observations...

Hello everybody, I decided it’s time to diversify my social media presence. So here I am. Hold onto your butts. #paleoart #illustration #illustrationartist

*hooded cultists chanting* Rake-legged mite! Rake-legged mite! Rake-legged mite! Oh and a tiny bristle millipede, all with sand grains for scale. Finally got to find bugs this week. 🤎

So glad for people to get to see some of the animals I've spent the past couple of years looking after! I had the wonderful opportunity to design the looks of many of the species, and have worked on each animal in detail across the VFX process. Walking with Dinosaurs premieres later in 2025!

This is officially my horizontally longest image to date, depicting some of the earliest complex animals on the planet from 565 to 505 million years ago and how they changed over time. Thank you to @egmitchell.bsky.social and Steve Pates for trusting me with this gargantuan task! #Art #SciArt

Day 3 of rebuilding a LEGO set into a different critter. Today it's the "first apex predator" Anomalocaris. With complex eyes and a set of grasping claws it was the terror of the Cambrian seas. 🧪

Quick sketch of the new (old) carcharodontosaur, Tameryraptor. #paleoart #sciart

I missed the first #paleostream of 2025, but I caught this one! Han solo, Tameryraptor, Rhizodus, and Dinornis.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology... In 2020 I won the opportunity to create a series of Dinosauria coins for The Royal Mint & the Natural History Museum, London. There was Megalosaurus, Iguanodon, & here's my reconstruction of Hylaeosaurus. #SciArt #SciComm #PaleoArt #Dinosaurs #Hylaeosaurus

You really could not have a more egg-shaped head if you tried, huh?
