Behold this stunning Eastern Copperhead. This morning I relocated this individual for a neighbor and was reminded just how magnificent these maligned creatures are, and was thankful that a kind soul reached out to me rather than killed it on the spot out of fear. 🌿

Here's something new I designed, a poster for Indiana's Deam Wilderness, part of the Hoosier National Forest. Making magnets of this and a few other travel poster designs for this weekend's market. 🎨

Lazy sunday sketching. Deinotherium and some funky bipedal apes in a watering hole somewhere in east africa #sciart

The final poster design for @restingdinoface.bsky.social and her upcoming book Tyrant Lizard Queen. Posters will be available for purchase soon. Preorder the book: bookshop.org/p/books/tyra...

Interesting, looks like a pseudosuchian

A pair of Confuciusornis, an early bird/ theropod dinosaur from the early cretaceous, China. They still had three claws on their fingers fingers, the beginnings of a beak, and the male of this species had two long and stiff tail feathers, most likely for display. #paleoart #sciart #animalrt

We made a sweet little screen print of a lady cardinal because they deserve some love too. 🪶🎨🐡

Here's a commemorative pin I designed for our current exhibition at work, honoring late dictionary collector Madeline Kripke. I was very happy to make use of this illustration I drew for an exhibition brand concept that wasn't chosen. libraries.indiana.edu/lilly-librar...

Brand new Douglas Henderson #paleoart on auction right now... www.ebay.com/itm/33648774...

If you feel you can speak up, do. Goodyear didn't know about the problem with Myhrvold, because many reporters aren't specialists who'd even know to look. It's not always safe to say something, but, where possible, it's so important to talk about what's happening if we're going to change it.

You can get prints of all these now, and there’s probably a sale on or something www.inprnt.com/gallery/geor...

Allow me to introduce you to Sonselasuchus cedrus, a new bipedal, beaked and herbivorous crocodile-relative that lived during the Late Triassic in North America #paleoart #sciart

Epstein and Maxwell were also apparently on the board of SEED Media Group, with influence over SEED magazine and ScienceBlogs dot com, which is where I blogged in the very early days of my career.

It’s infuriating and dispiriting how cozy scientists and science communicators were with Epstein. Not just creeps like Krauss and Horner, but former SciAm editor-in-chief Mariette DiChristina corresponding with Epstein in 2014-2015. “He’s done so much for science, I think that deserves some fun!”

Wowza, Hissing Prigs in Static Couture by 3RA1N1AC turns 30 in like 3 weeks. Hard to know how to feel about that! youtu.be/OryIHNu1Ft8?...

I was listening to Deep Breakfast and decided to read about Ray Lynch on Wikipedia and somehow in only two clicks I was in the article about gas gangrene 😐

National Wildlife Rehabilitators Symposium we are in the house! Baton Rouge 2026 starts bright and early tomorrow.

It's been a busy day at Marsh Madness, the annual sandhill crane festival hosted by Friends of Goose Pond. It's our first big show of the year and we debuted a few new magnets and stickers! 🐡🎨🪶

“In the untouched western forests, where mountains cradle mist and time has little meaning, dragons no longer rule the skies. Instead, they root themselves into the land, choosing sleep over fire.“ - Aconite #dunegonsnyth #printmaking

Very good representation of how that "crinoid mouth" that's really an angled (rounded?) slice through a set of crinoid stalk segments works. The "slice" is an erosion related thing that's probably pretty recent (caused by the formation of the little rock clast the crinoid is preserved in).

If the paleo community is going to be serious about Horner’s connection to Epstein, we also have to be serious about Myhrvold’s, because guess who contributed photos of animals mating to Epstein’s birthday book and has been appearing in new paleo papers this year - including the new Spinosaurus.

I am also pretty stunned that Myhrvold’s name wasn’t pulled from authorship prior to printing given the Epstein connection revelations. Presumably this will be the last time his name appears on the author list of any respectable publication… Right?

In which I provide a few thoughts on the new Spinosaurus species, S. mirabilis. www.newscientist.com/article/2516... I also stressed the deep connections between one of the study authors - Nathan Myhrvold - and Geoffrey Epstein to New Scientist. They didn't mention it, neither has anyone else.

Got a Dr.'s appt today to go over the results of my bloodwork I ran a crowdfunder for last month. Pretty sure they're going to want payment for some other past due bills, so buying one of my pins, #suncatchers, or #art prints will go a long way to help! Here's a megathread of my Etsy listings: /1

Tianyulong confuciusi, a tiny heterodontosaur dinosaur, looking about as happy in the snow as I. Based on an undescribed specimen at the Beijing Museum of Natural History. Jurassic Tiaojishan Formation is considered warm temperate to subtropical: mostly mild, but occasional snow days are possible.

Palaeoart, on paper, should not have the same systemic barriers of academia, ergo, be quite diverse. There's no staff hierarchy, lower financial barriers, most is online ergo relatively decentralised. And yet, looking at available stats, palaeoart is as bad as paleontological academia. Why?
