Attenborosaurus ~ 💚🐟 . After observing the celebrations throughout the weekend for Sir David’s 100 year birthday, I wanted to commentate it my own way by highlighting my favourite quote of his alongside the plesiosaur named after him 😊 . What a special man who has inspired and evoked so much in us

Ammonite Rock ~ 🐚🦑🦀🪸 . For years I’ve been curious by all the different ammonite shapes and types, I knew I wanted to create a design that brought them altogether! . #paleoart

Sphenodiscus ammonite ~ wedge disc 💿🐚 . The first ammonite is complete for my upcoming big piece . This guy has fluffy moss-like seaweed growing on the shell to help give the impression of age or how slowly it moves! #paleoart

La Brea Tar Pits ~ megafauna 🐻🦁🦥🐴🐺🦬 . After watching Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age, I was inspired to do a big piece based around my fascination with the La Brea tar pits and all the incredible creatures and flora that have been claimed by the tar ⚫️🌿🦴 . #paleoart #iceage #prehistoricplanet

Spinosaurus ~ spine lizard 🦴🦎 . It’s been exciting to see the unveiling of the new spinosaur species ‘Spinosaurus mirabilis’ - a new unicorn for the palaeo community 🦄💀 . I thought it would be cool to look at the comparison between the two heads of each species!

Lunchtime sketching ✍🏼

Iguanodon ~ iguana-tooth 🦷🦎 . Its felt good to pick up my iPad again and get back to my hadrosaur series, especially after the recent exciting discovery of Haolong dongi! . It inspired me to look at my Iguanodon design and made me wonder whether I should look at with or without quills! #paleoart

It hasn’t been the best start to the new year ♥️

Parasaurolophus ~ near-crested lizard 🦎 . Starting off 2026 with this palaeontology community favourite! This is the first finished design for my ongoing ‘Hadrosaur’ collection 😊 . What do you think? #paleoart #illustration

Art vs artist 2025 🖊️🦖🦕 . #artvsartist #paleoart

Dunkleosteus ~ Dunkle’s bone 🐠🦴 . Here is my finished design for my monster of the deep 💙 . I went through many colour variations to find the right ‘look’ and I ended up going for this murky swamp-like palette . What do you think? #paleoart #sciart

Ice age tar pits . I thought I would share my initial sketch and composition of my next big piece! I’ve had a long time obsession with the La Brea Tar Pits and now I want to create a design to showcase this incredible fossil trap! . What do you think? You do like this elongated design? #paleoart

A very quick visit to my happy place 💚🌿 #naturalhistorymuseum

Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age ❄️ . I love it when you watch something that sparks your imagination and gets your creative thoughts flowing again. This new Apple TV series has done just that - the CGI and designs of the creatures are STUNNING! . Do you have a favourite scene/creature from the series?

Ornithischia ~ bird hip 🦅🦴🌿 . I’m getting back into the groove now and working on a new collection! . Any you’re excited about? #paleoart #sciart

Dunkleosteus ~ Dunkle’s Bone 🐟🦴 . Coming soon… #paleoart #sciart

Pterosauria tree (vintage edition) ~ 🦅🌳 . Alongside my ‘black edition’, I have also tested how my pterosaur illustration would look with a ‘vintage’ natural history illustration background’ . What do you guys think? Which version do you prefer? The black or vintage background? #paleoart

Pterosauria tree (black edition) ~ 🦅🌳 . A few of you mentioned that you wanted to see close ups of the design and see all the extra details, so here you go! 😊 #paleoart #sciart

Pterosauria tree (black edition) ~ 🦅🌳 . I’m so excited to reveal the finished design, based off of vintage natural history illustrations with a gothic twist! . What do you guys think? Do you have a favourite pterosaur? #paleoart #sciart

Rhamphorhynchus, Dimorphodon & Darwinopterus ~ 🦅 . These are the finished designs of my ‘big pterosaurs’ for my upcoming Pterosaur Tree design! . The whole thing is nearly finished…I can’t wait to share it with you! . What do you guys think? #paleoart

Triceratops ~ three-horned face 🦏 . My final colour variation complete! This has been a fun ‘mini series’ to work on, especially with trying a forward face design. I have a few ideas of what I would like to do with all three designs so watch this space 👀 . What do you guys think? . #paleoart

Velociraptor & Protoceratops ~ ‘Mongolian Survival’ 🦅🇲🇳 . I unveiled this new design at @dinoconuk.bsky.social This is the first time I’ve combined two figures together to make a scene and I felt that the iconic fossil of these two would be perfect subject matter to try this out! #paleoart

(4/n) other artist whose work I was able to see and purchase at the event. Firstly, @emilyhiggs-art.bsky.social whose beautiful, stylised palaeoart I have admired for years. I picked up a few gorgeous pterosaur cards that you can see here.

Cool #paleoart : Sauropoda by @emilyhiggs-art.bsky.social. Not in her trademark folded style, but v fine & v Emily nonetheless! Another one of the prints I bought at @dinoconuk.bsky.social (technically @tpbunny.bsky.social procured this for me).

All set up and ready for @dinoconuk.bsky.social if your attending over the weekend, please come over and say hi! 😊🦖🦕

Triceratops ~ three-horned face 📯📯📯 . The second colour variation completed… #sciart

Now…I’m REALLY excited about this piece! . I loved how my recent pterosaur collection turned out and I didn’t really want to stop there, and now I’m taking a closer look at smaller pterosaurs hanging out together! . The sketch is complete, so now onto blocking the shapes out ✍🏼

On 1st August, we will chat about conventions and networking in general. 👥 In the last months I could not have met a better networker than @jamespascoe.bsky.social! Talking about conventions, @velozee.bsky.social & @emilyhiggs-art.bsky.social might give diff. views based on their experiences. 2/n

Triceratops ~ three-horned face 📯📯📯 . The first colour variation completed… #sciart #paleoart

Thalassodromeus ~ sea runner 🌊🏃🏽‍♀️ . The pterosaur collection is complete! . This guy is the conclusion of my first series of pterosaurs…and I think it’s my favourite design!

Nyctosaurus ~ night lizard 🌌🦎 . 4/5 complete! . I looked at a lot of modern day sea birds for inspiration of this design and I noticed a lot had simple colour palettes or strong lines so I felt this would be suitable for this pterosaur…but I couldn’t resist a flourish of colour on the crest tips!

Tupandactylus ~ Tupan finger 🇧🇷👈🏼 . 3/5 complete! . I did originally think about putting a big ‘eye spot’ in the head crest of this pterosaur but I thought it would be interesting to look at how colours and subtle patterning could play a part in its display 👁️

Dsungaripterus ~ Junggar basin wing 🇨🇳🪽 . It was really exciting to come up with a colour scheme/pattern that included so much colour!! I got a lot of inspiration from hornbills and toucans . What do you guys think?

Triceratops ~ Three-horned face 📯📯📯 . I’ve been working on a number of colour schemes for my triceratops head design…and I’m struggling to choose which ones my favourite! . What do you guys think? Is there a particular option you like the most?

Tropeognathus ~ Keel Jaw 🦷🦅 . The first of my pterosaur collection finished! It’s been interesting to think about the possible colouration/patterns these creatures would have had, especially when their jaws had such a large surface area! . What do you guys think of this first design?

more more more! @emilyhiggs-art.bsky.social @palaeojules.bsky.social

Lyme Regis fossil festival 2025 🐚 . Being a part of this festival is such a highlight of the year for me, I already can’t wait for next year. . It made my paleo-heart so happy to meet many like-minded people, seeing lots of new and familiar faces, as well as meeting many online friends in person 💙

final #SciArt #LymeRegis #FossilFestival haul with pieces from @kakapojay.bsky.social, @august-joseph.bsky.social, Emily Juliet Stevens, @palaeojules.bsky.social, @phoebeginger.bsky.social, Sean Hennessy, @emilyhiggs-art.bsky.social, Em (The Cookieraptor) and more teenies given to us at our booth!

haul time 🦕 🌟 prints/misc cute dinosaur goodness from @phoebeginger.bsky.social, @kakapojay.bsky.social, @emilyhiggs-art.bsky.social, @theintrovertebrates and gorgeous watercolour by @dailydinosketch.bsky.social

Yangchuanosaurus ~ Yangchuan lizard 🇨🇳🦎 . I imagined this dinosaur would be prowling through a dark and dense forest so I went with a colour palette and pattern that would benefit this predator but also have flashy flourishes for identification 🌳🌲 . What do you guys think?

So happy to announce that I will not only be attending @dinoconuk.bsky.social but I will also be appearing alongside these incredible palaeoartists for a palaeoart panel discussion!! I hope to see you there! #paleoart #dinocon #dinosaurs

A fun little DIY project for the weekend ✏️ . I needed another display option for upcoming Lyme Regis Fossil Festivla, so I thought I would have a go a making my own with left over cardboard boxes 😊

Upcoming markets 🦖🦕🌿🦣 . This summer I will be attending both Lyme Regis Fossil Festival and DinoCon so in preparation for them, I have produce a number of new products! 😊 . Keep an eye out for: ~ 📚 Tasseled bookmarks ~ 🦤 New sticker designs ~ 🏞️ Collectible postcards ~ 🖨️ New A4 prints

Irritator ~ 🦖🐠 . Adding this Brazilian spinosaurid to the dinosaur collection. I imagined this dinosaur running along the coastal shores amongst the driftwood and sea grass 🌾🌊 . #paleoart #spinosaurid #irritatorchallengeri

Dinosaurs... ~ 🦖🦕 . As someone who likes to juggle multiple projects at once 😅 alongside my pterosaurs, I have a number of new dinosaur designs underway! . I was so happy with my recent ‘polar dinosaur’ collection, I couldn’t wait to apply a similar style to more dinos!

Pterosaurs... ~ 🦅🦎 . After completing my marine reptile collection last year, it only felt right to design a flying reptile collection! . So here is a sneak peek at what’s to come… #paleoart #pterosaurs

Working on the new batch of dinosaurs…very excited to share the designs soon 👀 . #paleoart #dinosaurs

Dodo ~ 🦤 . I’ve wanted to draw this iconic extinct bird for such a long time now and couldn’t resist having a go this weekend…✍🏼 #dodo #paleoart

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

Pachyrhinosaurus ~ thick-nosed lizard 👃🏼🦎 . There was a lot of trial and error getting the colour scheme just right as I wanted to get the balance of a creature living in a cold environment, and I think I’ve now got the balance just right 😊 #paleoart
