A few weeks ago CBC reporter Sheena Goodyear reached out to me for comment on the new Spinosaurus paper. I said I couldn’t, because of Epstein connection Nathan Myhrvold’s involvement with it. We got to talking about how paleontology - especially dinosaur research- remains hostile to women. 🧪

She dreamed of para-para-parasaurolophus. #sciart #paleoart

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

Peak has returned.

I painted a Jurassic classic, #Stegosaurus. 💚

This is why scientists will cushion statements about animal behavior with “typically” or “usually.” All it takes is one individual to shake things up.

Get domed. #pachycephalosaurus

My newest interpretation of #Therizinosaurus. Certainly, the best of the mega theropods ;)

I don’t want to generate or receive an email, document, manuscript, PowerPoint deck, post it note, grocery list, novel, film, or hit list that has been generated with AI.

I need to finish all episodes of the new Walking with Dinosaurs, but so far it’s got quite a range of highs and lows. And also…chat, is there perhaps a faint echo of a paintpaddock piece in contemporary paleomedia?

Introducing Mosura fentoni, a new radiodont from the #BurgessShale. Paper here: doi.org/10.1098/rsos.2… Thi#fossilil species has 3 eyes, spiny claws, wing-shaped swimming flaps, and a unique abdomen-like body region.

Who knew a fish could express "What the fuck was that?" with such ease.

Many of my colleagues view the story and fate of #Keiko the orca as a failure. I think this underplays the effort and hard work of many smart, passionate people. We learned a lot about cetacean rehabilitation. Keiko got the dignity of passing away in his home waters, far from his tiny tank.

I mean, seriously. Was ever an animal more aptly named? It looks like a guardian forest spirit.

Henry the T. rex returns with a new look and coffee cup! 🦖

NEW EPISODE! 🦕 Ellen is joined by paleoartist and marine biologist @thepaintpaddock.bsky.social for a review of the ancient giants that towered over the late Jurassic world: Brachiosaurus! Check it out wherever you get podcasts!

#Brachiosaurus makes a return 🦕 #sciart #paleoart

Rex appeal. #sciart #paleoart #tyrannosaurus

I know we’re tired of the politics talk, but I just need to rant. International friends, stop accusing every American you meet as being complicit in Trump’s bullshit. This happened to me in Australia & I had no real outlet for it at the time, and now I’m seeing it happen increasingly to others.

JUST OUT!!! Happy to announce my first publication, coauthored with @davehone.bsky.social, Tim Gomes, and Joseph Peterson. Meet Infernodrakon hastacollis - a new name for the azhdarchid from the Hell Creek Formation! Life restoration by @jhemiptera.bsky.social

Scientists are now organizing events, called Stand Up for Science, on 7 March in Washington, D.C., and state capitals. So far, they have attracted more than 100 volunteers from some 30 states who are hoping to rally support for research as a public good. scim.ag/4328LAD

With an overwhelming amount of submissions, your donations for the #ArtemisPaleozoo's first Bug-Off Valentine's Fundraiser were a smashing success! Raising upwards of $10,000, we are thankful for the many (and we mean many) names our guest's submitted. 🪱🍏 Happy Valentine's Day! ❤️

I drew a quick Guanlong during an art night / impromptu Jurassic World screening with some friends. #sciart #dinosaur

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!

Hi new followers! I love creating illustrations and infographics to share information, especially when it comes to killer whales. Here is a recent one I made covering killer whales of the Gulf of Mexico (and that’s the only name I’ll ever call it 😉)

EO: "the immutable biological reality of sex" Biological reality:

At the age of 4 my dad let me watch a movie about a homeless kid who teams up with a native man and a lesbian to break an abused killer whale out of a marine park because the CEO wanted to kill him to collect insurance money and now I hate the United States and God

Sorry guys, Carnotaurus was red. It’s just law.

Lost 20 pounds since starting my diet+workout regimen in October. Feeling great!

#Olorotitan joins the paddock! This hadrosaur had a distinct, hatchet-shaped crest that was probably used for visual display and sound production. #sciart #paleoart #dinosaur

Sneak peek of some upcoming work.

Growing up means realizing just how many hot takes/mean remarks are just engagement bait.

in 2022 i made two posters of #fossil prehistoric creatures discovered in #mexico, one with colorations based on endemic wildlife and another with #alebrije colorations #paleo #paleoart

An illustration of Mesoplodon traversii, or the spade-toothed whale. There are no confirmed live sightings of this species; everything we know about them comes from dead individuals.

You've heard of the #ArtemisPaleozoo, now its time to meet the team behind it! With seventeen people involved in the creation of this artbook, we are pleased to present this new wave of media to you all 🌿🦖 (1/2)

An #Alamosaurus piece I made for my buddy @crikeyitschristian.bsky.social a little while ago. It remains one of my favorite sauropod works, and this species is slowly climbing up on my favorites list.

Since we’re new to Bluesky, a Rextooth recap is in order! We’re Rextooth a SciComm publisher owned and operated by husband & wife team Ted & Annie Rechlin. (It’s usually one of us running this account - 👋) 1/

Funny how surprisingly “normal” yet scarily robust the skeleton of an elephant seal is
