So lately I've been messaging my partner right when I wake up so I don't forget my dream. They're pretty standard dream slush where I can pinpoint why I'm dreaming about each thing, but they're very vivid.

Having clients in vastly different time zones means I can work on one piece while I'm waiting on feedback for the other.

Mara Brown @marabrownwd.bsky.social Carnotaurus design. There's still some de-extinct creatures in the backlog to post. #Dinosaur #Carnotaurus

I liked del Toro's Frankenstein okay, but I'm kinda glad I didn't go see it in the theater on Halloween like I almost did. Being able to pause it midway was nice because the pacing was a bit difficult. Didn't keep me as captivated as I was hoping.

Now that the winners have been decided in Goji Center's Hybrid War, here's my sketches of the top 8 dinosaur hybrids battling it out that I never posted on their own. Congratulations to all of the contestants! #HybridWar #DinosaurHybrids

Not as much aurora tonight, but I got to see some before the clouds rolled in. On the bank of the Spokane River looking north.

The aurora from earlier tonight outside of Spokane, Washington in my light polluted yard. You could clearly see the magenta with the naked eye.

I know it's a good problem to have, but I keep lying to myself that things will slow down and I'll have time to work on personal work after a big client project. There's usually another as soon as I'm done, but I feel bad for neglecting my Horror Archetypes. I really WILL make time for them soon.

Fionna and Cake is so good. Here's some old Adventure Time fan art of mine. 2012 to 2015. #AdventureTime #FionnaAndCake

#Temnovember a study of the Jurassic temnospondyl Sinobrachyops, which lived alongside mamenchisaurs. Smaller than I picture temnos! Partly inspired by the work of cqin & Emily Stepp. Larva is speculative & not to scale

With Halloween put to rest this year, I shall dedicate myself to fixing one of my biggest regrets... a severe lack of art of arkos characters interacting with dinosaurs. Art peices by @emilyart.bsky.social, KayeToons, and myself.

They didn't want us at the trunk or treat. Apparently we spooked a dog and a horse tonight.

Listening to Monster Mash hoping to feel something.

We fixed up our Halloween costumes some more this year. Here they were a decade ago and then today.

This thrift store really knows how to decorate for Halloween.

Here's the two pieces I did for TheGamingBeaver's Battle-saurs Tournament. They don't actually fight one another in the video, but that would've been a close matchup! #Dracorex #Pachycephalosaurus #Dinosaur #DinosaurToy

I baked these pies last night, and they're quite yummy. Sometimes I miss having more people around to eat my baking because my partner and I do not need to eat 2 whole pies lol

It's a pretty late October day here in the Inland Northwest.

#Paleoctober2025 day 19 with a really quick and sloppy sketch of the horsetail relative Asterophyllites. #Paleoctober #Asterophyllites

Sad but interesting experience today on the farm. Ran out to see what had my birds so upset, noticed a medium sized hawk fly off from beside our coop. Walked into the run and found one of my neighbor's half grown chicks, dead but still warm, caught in our run's bird netting.

New set for James Conlon's EPOCH paleoart sketch series with ankylosaurian dinosaurs Minmi, Ankylosaurus, Jakapil, Borealopelta, and Stegouros. Minmi's appearance is speculative and Jakapil's placement is unsure, but hopefully this isn't too far off the mark. #Paleoart #Dinosaur #Ankylosauria

I managed to keep going with #Paleoctober2025 and get a video out for week 2! Please check it out and let me know if this is the first time you're hearing about some of these extinct creatures. youtu.be/3BuUK1CDNQU
