Cool Things I picked up (or was gifted 🤯) at #DinoConUK. Had a great weekend. Thank you so much to everyone who visited my stall and said nice things/ bought something!

Ancestors of Clippy

Biblically accurate clippy

Always great when an artist that you've admired online for a while turns out to be lovely in person! Thank you so much Andy! 🐉

Cool #paleoart : Another of the prints I bought at @dinoconuk.bsky.social !

#DinoConUK is Tomorrow! As well as selling prints and stickers at my stall (mine is number 14), I am also bringing a selection of original paintings, drawings and sketchbook pages that are up for sale! #Paleoart #SciArt

Here's a re-vamped version of this paleoart piece (originally from 2023) depicting the Rhomaleosaurid plesiosaur Atychodracon. Atychodracon was a fairly large plesiosaur at 5 meters long, with specimens that date back to the Triassic-Jurassic boundary. #SciArt #Paleoart #MarineLife

New paleoart! A pair of Ancyloceras (a heteromorph ammonite) drift along the coral reefs of the lower Cretaceous waiting for food to pass them by. 🐚🐙 #SciArt #Paleoart #Invertebrates

Just about finished prepping for #DinoConUK !!!🦖 I've got a nice variety of stuff printed, with a few of these in different sizes. Please come by my stall (number 14 in the vendor hall) and pick up a print or a sticker! #SciArt #Paleoart

Here is the feed for #FishyFriday ! Use the tag to get a flood of fish/ #aquatic themed creatures in the feed every Friday. No rules or prompts, just #art and #photography you’d like to share. Thanks for joining in today and sharing your lovely #fish 🥰 bsky.app/profile/did:...

Not counting today, there are just >SEVEN DAYS< until the inaugural #DinoConUK happens at the University of Exeter (weekend of 16th-17th). It's massive, so much stuff. You still have time to buy tickets! Info and booking at .... www.dinocon.co.uk

From today, there are just 12 days - T-W-E-L-V-E D-A-Y-S - until #DinoConUK. More than twice as big as the biggest TetZooCon (for those of you who attended!), it's gonna be a massive two full days of great dinosaur-themed content. August 16th and 17th. Tickets are still on sale! www.dinocon.co.uk

I have a stall at #DinoCon 2025!! 🦖 I will be in the vendor hall selling high-quality art prints and (hopefully) stickers!. If you are attending, please come and say hello! #SciArt #Paleoart

It is true

Here is a page of pen and ink ammonite fossil studies/ designs that I drew as a visual reference for my first tattoo! I tried a few different variations before settling on the 5th design which I think is appropriately simple and reads very well at a glance 🐚 #SciArt #Paleoart #Ammonites

Here's a little portrait of my auntie's black Labrador Florence that I made for her birthday. Always fun to exaggerate hues on animals that are typically considered only one colour. 🐶 #PetPortraits #AnimalArt

It's #PrideMonth and #DinosaurDay! What better way to celebrate is there really? 🏳️‍🌈🦖

Felt like I needed to make a painting just for myself as catharsis for a very emotionally draining past week or so. This one is inspired by a photo I took of South Shields Seafront on Christmas Eve 2024. 🌅 #Landscapes

Happy #EarthDay! It's worth taking a moment to appreciate all of the life that we share this planet with and recognising that we have a responsibility to protect it. 🌍🌳🌊

‼️ Bottom trawling for scampi leaves behind an environmental wreckage. The devastation caused is real, undeniable & must end. ✍️ We’ve signed a letter calling out UK supermarkets to keep their word on sustainable seafood. 🦐 No more excuses. www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottis...

Hello #portfolioday! Here's some of my work as a wildlife illustrator

Happy Mother's Day! Here's a quick little painting of a mother ichthyosaur (Stenopterygius) and her calf. 🐟🦎 #SciArt #Paleoart #MarineLife

Study of a Common Octopus (Octopus vulgaris) chilling out on a coral colony. 🐙 #SciArt #MarineLife #Invertebrates

For #InternationalWomensDay, I'm reposting this short piece about Lindsey Morris Sterling from my Facebook group "Historic Palaeoart (for enthusiasts)". Sterling drew one of the earliest reconstructions of T. rex, creating the blueprint that informed all early T. rex #paleoart and cinema. #sciart

Study of a Juvenile (not-so) Giant Panda. Could not resist making everything more vibrant. 🐼

Capybara sketch. Earth's largest rodent, native to South America. Experimenting a bit more with stylisation and colours. 🦛🐭 #SciArt #Animals

A little stylised sketch of a Binturong (also known as the Bearcat) chilling on a branch. These fellas belong to a group of mammals called Viverrids (which also includes Civets) and are omnivorous, with plants making up a majority of their diet. They also have prehensile tails! #SciArt #Animals

RIP to the absolute legend that was David Lynch. Here's a little study that I did just over a year ago of the Great Northern Hotel from Twin Peaks. ⛰️⛰️

Selective Sanctuary • gouache & watercolor on paper For a group show at 301 Gallery in collaboration with Friends of the Columbia Gorge, who gave artists access to lands they steward to inspire their work for the show; in this case, a habitat site for the endangered western pond turtle.

Art vs Artist 2024. Nice to see more traditional stuff on here this year. Here's to an even better 2025! ✨ #artvsartist2024 #SciArt #Paleoart

My favourite pieces of 2024! 🐟🦖 #SciArt #Paleoart

Every now & again, it's useful to say why I do all these eel history tweets. Mostly, it's because eels need our help. They're critically endangered, seeing a c.90% drop in population in the last decades. But it's hard to get people to care! 'Cause...eels are gross & slimy. 1/2 🗃️🧪

If you see this, post a Dino (or two) - study from Prehistoric Planet (S1 Ep 4 Ice Worlds) 🌲🏔️

Finally got around to finishing this acrylic painting after starting it months ago! Rhizodus hibberti snatches an Embolmere (Eoherpeton or something similar) from the river's edge in Carboniferous Scotland. 🐟 #SciArt #PaleoArt #SundayFishSketch

The UK now has a #dinosaur and #palaeontology -themed convention, #DinoCon. Talks, displays, events, stalls, merch and more. For 2025, we're at Exeter University on the weekend of 16-17 August. More info at www.dinocon.co.uk

During trump 1.0, we had to pull down all of the climate change pages off the EPA website. Start archiving shit now, document, backup, photograph, whatever you need to do.

If you see this, post a dino! Spinosaurus from Jurassic Park 3 (with a slightly updated look) 🦖
