A new piece of an old piece. Of the dozen or so Magic: The Gathering cards I did, the pygmy hippo is apparently the rarest, and the original art is long gone. I was, however, commissioned to do a new version. This meant gridding up a card to reconstruct the new version as accurately as possible.

Spinosaur v Sarcosuchus A4 private commission intended (apparently) to be turned into a tattoo. The client requested gore and a nod to the JP3 Spinosaurus.

Emperor Hawk Moth 60th birthday present for my moth-loving sister (it's her favourite type). A3 mixed media on tan paper. Bit of a first for me and nice to be able to post some non-shark art.

A different form of dinosaur learning today: Study sketches from 2022's "Mesozoic Art," edited by @sharkbitesteve.bsky.social and @tetzoo.bsky.social. After looking at all these animatronics and museum mounts, I felt the need to stock my visual memory with some cutting-edge modern visualizations...

Panel discussion with @tetzoo.bsky.social and @sharkbitesteve.bsky.social coming soon — discussing the book 'Mesozoic Art 2', the current state and future of palaeoart! 🦖🖼️ Joining them are some of today’s leading palaeoartists, like @zoctheartist, @clanaghan.bsky.social, and @gaelleseguillon. 1/2

Belantsea. A very weird cartilaginous fish from the Bear Gulch Formation. The candy-striped fish in the foreground are Aesopichthys, the others are Discoserra. The squid-like cephalopods are Syllipsimopodi. Another piece for the shark book. Thanks to the kittens for their help.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology... Zooms into Territory of the #Megalosaurus, from my section of Mesozoic Art II, edited by @sharkbitesteve.bsky.social & @tetzoo.bsky.social, published by @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social: www.bloomsbury.com/uk/mesozoic-... #SciArt #PaleoArt #Dinosaurs #Jurassic

Enormous thank you to @tetzoo.bsky.social and @sharkbitesteve.bsky.social for inviting me, to stand among best of the best in the industry. What a diverse portfolio of people, talents and styles. 💜

Coming on 25th Sept... It really is beautiful. So proud.

Another shark piece. In heavy seas, a huge Cosmopolitodus bungles an attack on a family pod of the little baleen whale Piscobalena. Pisco Formation, Miocene Epoch. I've often wondered, on a piece like this, how many lines I do. I photographed the first makes made. 08.50 1st August.

T. rex v Trike This time, it's personal. A3 private commission Done this scene multiple times and it's a staple of palaeoart so it's hard to find something different. But kinda like it.

An article on the Natural History Museum's new range of retro dinosaur-themed items, featuring designs by @sharkbitesteve.bsky.social, and with mention of Mesozoic Art II (out September)... downthetubes.net/natural-hist...

The Natural History Museum has launched “The Dinosaur Collection” in its web shop and at the Museum – and includes t-shirts comic creator Steve White created the retro dinosaurs for.

@sharkbitesteve.bsky.social!

This has a comic strip called “Imagine If Gums Was Published in Action…” written by me with art by @sharkbitesteve.bsky.social, which is one of the darkest things I’ve ever written. Can’t wait to see it in print!

A little something I wrote recently in collaberation with Withnail Books and Amazing 15. This is very much a limited edition and can be ordered only from www.withnailbooks.com. Check out the link for details! If you're a #Jaws fan, you might enjoy it!

If Jaws is your thing there is no more shark-knowlegeable fan than @sharkbitesteve.bsky.social and he's written a book about Quint and the USS Indianapolis. Go order at www.withnailbooks.com

Hadn't intended to post this but was pretty happy with the colours. A young Galeorhinus cuvieri picks an escort of the batfish, Eoplatax. Beneath are two moonfish, Mene, and the early marine snake Archaeophis. Bottom left is the weird tailless stingray Lessiniabatis. Eocene Bolca Formation, Italy

A little something arrived in the post today. Actually, it's a pretty sizeable something and hard to do a flip-through with one hand - but you'll hopefully get the gist. I think @Darren Naish and I can feel pretty pleased with how it looks and can't wait for it to be released into the wild!

Commission for the forthcoming Enniskillen Comic Fest this weekend - Satanus vs the Killdozer!

Thylacines. A3 private commission. A pair of Tasmanian wolves chase a pademelon (a sort of Tasmanian wallaby) My first time doing a thylacine. Definitely my first time going a pademelon.

Juvenile school shark Galeorhinus cuvieri and the weird ray-finned fish, Dibango hiding in a sea grass meadow. Early Eocene Bolca site, Italy. Another piece for the forthcoming shark book, this was inspired by a John Dory I saw during a dive I did years ago off the Dorset coast in south England.

Artbook sketch for buyer in New Zealand so inevitably had to do Death From Above - a Haast's eagle bowling over a moa. Books still available!

The success of #MesozoicArt made it inevitable that we'd do a follow-up. Mesozoic Art II - edited by @sharkbitesteve.bsky.social and myself, and bigger, better, with more art, more artists than the first - will appear in September 2025. Events to be announced :) #palaeoart #paleoart

Commissioned drawing for the forthcoming Enniskillen comicon - an Action Force Eel! I have fond memories of the Eels, especially what might have been Simon Furman's greatest line of dialogue - ever! Anyone else interested, DM me for details.

A young Ptychodus and trio of Pachyrhizodus enjoy a seasonal glut of Protostega hatchlings. My logic is that adult Ptychodus may have been too large to feed on little turtles but they would have been a useful periodic dietary supplement to juveniles.

The Fourth will be with you... I loved the final clash between Obi-Wan and Darth Maul. Always thought he would have given Maul a respectful send-off. I wanted to 'imagine' that scene, Kenobi on his dewback, looking back thoughtfully at the funeral pyre. This is colour pencils on A4 red paper.

Tinkering with colour pencils on colour paper again.

Alien I did using acrylic brush pens on plum-coloured paper - about A4. I bought some coloured paper during a trip to LA last year and been meaning to try them out. This stock didn't take colour pencil that well and ended up trying out the brush pens on it. Was fun and a bit different for me.

Amazing work.

MTG card alter commission with acrylic brush pens. Enjoy doing these!

Love this

#ArtBoost today is for DJ Washington (I can't find him on BSky), palaeoartist and conservation biology graduate based in the US, producing striking, bold, sometimes stylized art of ancient animals. It sure would be incredible if a book called MESOZOIC ART II included a section of his art, right?

Princess Prano snoozing on me while I read. Very cute but she is, in reality, a monster.

Pleased to announce I'll be tabling at LFCC in July!

Some drawings for artbook buyers: - Allosaurus splashing about in his mud bath - T. rex and Triceratops. These were done for a pair of books and I thought it would fun to do them as though they were crossing paths. Artbooks still available! Contact me for details.

It's #portfolioday! I love drawing dinosaurs, sharks, monsters, fantasy, natural history, comics...er, what else?

The weird scissor-toothed shark, Edestus and straight-shelled ammonites. Illustration for the forthcoming book. I don't know what the bubbles mean beyond the fact that I looks drawing them.

Cannot wait! Plans now swinging into action!

I'm happy to announce that Mesozoic Art v.II has now gone to press. Looks incredible and thanks to all the artists who contributed, and to @tetzoo.bsky.social and everybody at @chiffchat.bsky.social for their patience, resilience and hard work. Book goes on sale 25th September - don't miss it!

Artbook drawing that I wasn't going to post but was quite happy with it and realised that I so rarely draw Pachycephalosaurs.

More artbook drawings. A Livyatan; a basketball-playing raptor from Toronto; a nautilus; and a tylosaur I shall call Mary (not sure if there's a record of Cretaceous copepods but what the hell). Artbooks are still available. DM for details.

Guy buying one of my artbooks asked for a nautilus drawing. Really enjoyed doing it.

Ankylosaur drawing turned out unexpectedly cute.

Edmontosaurus ~ Edmonton lizard 🇨🇦🦎 . The trio for my ‘polar collection’ is now complete! However, I thought I would try a different background with this hadrosaur getting caught in the rain ☔️ . #paleoart #dinosaur #edmontosaurus

Ducky is back! For the third year on the trot, our friendly neighbourhood mallard has returned, with a drake on tow. Sadly, the male seems to be injured, with a damaged right leg which means he can only hobble at best, and his wing is a bit beat-up. However, he can fly, so see how he gets on.

If you see this, post your black and white art!
