Camben Creatives LLC is looking forward to connecting with the greater SciTech community at the ASTC annual meeting in Phoenix! We are excited to visit with colleagues new and old at this year's conference.

Painted my Triceratops.

Corythosaurus - digital bust #scicomart

Working behind the scenes on a big piece for a year now, and TWO of the 3 color palettes I'm working with have shown up on people's dinosaurs independently. I know there's only so many combos but I am afraid of looking derivative now!

Repainted my RMZ-003 Command Wolf to match my bestest little buddy! Say hello to the CZR-001!

That feeling of a fresh new exacto blade cut

#Cenozoicrewind2025 Meet Epiaceratherium itjilik! #paleoart #vectorart #rhino

Body form updated for better skeletal match, and textures started. I may swap him to a more tapir or pig-like fur texture, but I always get lost in the wrinkles...He's gonna sit here for a bit while I work on other things!

Updated for the weekend while I travel this upcoming week. Have some stuff to smooth out and adjust but overall liking the current forms.

New paper alert! (My first!) This is a benchmark paper on all NPS fossils within the State of Utah through 2024. Loads of illustrations by me and pic by coauthors and collaborators. Open access, free to download! Thanks to all who made this possible! giw.utahgeology.org/giw/index.ph...

New seasonal paleontology positions available for Dinosaur National Monument, Petrified Forest National Park and Fossil Butte National Monument. Apply soon, they close after they receive a certain number of apps! #NPSpaleo #PaleoJobs www.usajobs.gov/job/850816000 www.usajobs.gov/job/850816700

Triceratops model exploration done over the weekend. This is not based on a particular specimen. While we have some skin impressions from triceratops frills, I elected for larger scales along its surface to study different keratin textures.

Digital dinosauring again

#sciart what an interesting paper to drop!

Happy National Fossil day! Our artists are proud to have supported our federal and local communities through 210 artworks! Today we celebrate the hardworking scientists, educators, artists, and community members who continue to inspire the public through our natural world!

Refining my digital sculpting skills with a sauropod! Camarasaurus sp. Thank you @tessasaurus.bsky.social for your help with integument possibilities!

Millions of years ago, California had a familiar yet alien landscape from what it sees today. This painting highlights the animals that may have passed through Death Valley long ago. This painting features as a 4ft mural hung in the Copper Canyon Visitor Center in southern Cali.

While it's easy to make friends with a passing herd, it still pays to watch for what's lurking in the shadows... This painting was commissioned by the NPS to showcase potential species that create the busy trackways from the Naturita Formation and Colorado National Monument.

A poor Sunkahetanka learns a hard lesson to stay vigilant during its hunt. Sespia is happy to escape in the commotion. This painting is commissioned by the NPS to depict species present in the Scotts bluff National Monument, Nebraska.

The Green River Formation is rich in species diversity. This snapshot captures nocturnal animals emerging as their diurnal neighbors start to settle in. This work is commissioned by the NPS to highlight species found in the Fossil Butte Monument in Wyoming.

Micropernodus is fighting Proscalops for his share of the early worm while a passing Amphicyon looks on. This painting was commissioned by the NPS to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the John Day Fossil Beds site in Oregon.

Helicoprion is a large eugeneodont shark, most famous for its buzzsaw-like jaw configuration. Depicted here hunting Mooreoceras. This painting is commissioned by the NPS and highlights fossil specimens known from Guadalupe Mountains Park, TX

I had the pleasure of interviewing with Bold Journey to talk about my professional development so far. I love to share how creativity, positivity, and connecting with others are my driving forces. I can't wait to continue these values as we grow! boldjourney.com/life-values-...

So proud of everyone involved in bringing this event to the public!

The largest species of mammoth, the Columbian mammoth was one of the last large elephants to inhabit the grassland environments of North America during the Pleistocene epoch. During the same period of time, the gompothere Cuvieronius inhabitted similar environments of South America.

A derived member of the Mosasaur family, Tylosaurus was among the largest members of the marine reptile group. With fossils found across the modern Atlantic Ocean, this animal patrolled the Cretaceous seaways.

Thank you Reynolds Advanced Materials for featuring the projects completed by our creative team this month! Camben Creatives staff have been using the resources at RAM for a decade now to deliver quality projects. We look forward to continuing with the expertise and support your team provides!

Thank you to the La Brea Tar Pits staff for touring the Camben Creatives team through the research collections and field work happening at the Page Museum. We look forward to learning more about the exciting science that happens every day in our own backyard!

I've been asked how I made Paleoart my full time career several times this year and the answer is; I didn't. This is the first dinosaur I've sculpted in two years, I mostly make other things.

Camben Creatives LLC is looking forward to connecting with the greater museum community at the AAM Annual Meeting in Los Angeles! We are excited to visit with colleagues new and old at this year's conference. Come visit with our founders Benji and Cameron to partner on your fabrication needs.

Pteranodon Longiceps is the most regonized member of the Pteranodon genus. Composed of nearly 1,200 individual specimens, it is well represented among North American fossil taxa, likely playing an important ecological nighe along the Western Interior Seaway.

Pteranodon sternbergi, otherwise known as Geosternbergia, is one of two large species of the Pteranodon genus. Discovered in central regions of the United States, this pterosaur roamed prehistoric skies during the late Campanian age of the Cretaceous.

My favorite bug type today!

Lambeiosaurus doodle wind down from yesterday.

Going to be hitting 200 reconstructions for the NPS soon. It feels surreal to have that many in the portfolio!

Nuff said? Thanks to Ray Troll!
