Some of my weird and expressive avian dinosaurs.

Tyrannosaurus rex concept commissioned for the future mythological fantasy story known as: The Chronicles of Saurteria and mascot reference for the Saurterian Productions YouTube channel youtube.com/@SaurterianProductions #Trex #Tyrannosaurus #Tyrannosaurusrex #Dinosaur

February speed paints. Mostly dinosaurs but also Na'vi. #Dinosaurs #Avatar

I was out yesterday with a few friends. They needed to go to a beauty supply store. I asked, "would it be okay if I walk down to the pet store to look at lizards?" One responded, "you don't actually need to ask, you can just tell us." Anyway the lizards were definitely worth the walk.

Seems like there's only bad news lately.

Slumber Party Massacre II is always the vibe.

Finally sketched the new dinosaur guy on the block. A somewhat speculative Spinosaurus mirabilis speedpaint. #Spinosaurus #Spinosaurusmirabilis #Smirabilis #Dinosaur #Paleoart #Spinosaurid #Spinosaur

I swear I'll be back to posting paleoart soon, but yesterday I made some funky cupcakes for my partner's 35th birthday. Had a lot of fun with food coloring obviously.

Yes, it is.

Cats are really a gift. What a weird mouth you have there, Zuko.

I know this is a really low stakes problem, but I feel so dejected that the Avatar: The Game I just bought and had shipped here keeps failing to install on my PS3. I don't know if it's the game or my PS3 either. I know it's a risk with old used games, but nothing ever works.

Courage is such a funny dinosaur guy. His beard has finally mostly grown back after he let his hens eat it. His back is so short, which is part of why he was culled from the breeding program he was a part of with the lady who hatched him, but that just adds to his silly charm.

Bad timing to be getting sick. My partner probably got exposed at work then in turn exposed me. Hoping I don't get too sick since I'm boosted for flu and covid, but he's unfortunately not and so far much more sick than I am. His fever is 2 degrees F higher than mine.

Watched the new Dracula yesterday and thought it was really good. Liked it much better than Bram Stoker's Dracula 1992. I'm a much bigger fan of Nosferatu 2024, but still a very nice vampire movie to see on Valentine's Day.

This mated pair of ducks have been hanging out in my yard and haven't wanted to go back home to my neighbors' so I guess they're mine for now. The drake on the left is probably a mule duck right? I don't need to worry about him inadvertently parenting any ducklings since he's sterile?

Found some brand new cat furniture at the thrift store today. I'd say they like it. Zuko really doesn't fit, but he's trying as best he can.

Biggest CRT television I've probably ever seen. Jurassic World Ampelosaurus for scale.

Age of Monsters: Classical: Dragons and Serpents Commissioned, art directed, and written by James Conlon. The project is likely to take the form of a book, but keep an eye out for news on that in the future! #Dragons #Serpents #AgeofMonsters #Worldbuilding #Amphiptere #Amphisbaena #Basilisk #Hydra

I really did love Iron Lung. I can see how general audiences may not be into it, but as a huge fan of slow burn Lovecraftian horror I was really happy. It was so tactile and tense. Markiplier was entertaining the whole time. Reminiscent of In the Mouth of Madness.

I probably need to wait till I get a newer iPad, but I've really been wanting to get Procreate Dreams to dabble in a little bit of animation on my illustrations here or there.

I think I'll go see Iron Lung on discount Tuesday. I like going to see movies I don't think my partner or best friend would necessarily be into or excited about on my own. It really sounds like something I'm going to like, though I'm avoiding knowing much about it at all.

I worked for 2 weeks without a day off, then I finally had to take a couple days off (I still drew a little on one of those days) due to thumb pain. It is like they say, if you don't schedule breaks your body will decide to take them for you.

Just got back from seeing The Bone Temple, great sequel to 28 Years Later. I do wish the marketing made it clearer that it's 28 Years Later 2, because I fully thought they re-released the first one in theaters for some reason because it seemed too soon. Anyway it was extremely rad.

Quick little spiky spec evo mammal that resembles a eutriconodont speedpaint for David Glenn.

Maip macrothorax paleoart speedpaint for Toon-Rex based on his design of this megaraptorid dinosaur. #Maip #Maipmacrothorax #Dinosaur #Theropod #Paleoart #Megaraptorid

I love getting to do some of the art for these delightful speculative evolution Aos Talun lore videos! Check this one out. youtu.be/CKdRJSn5FCs?...

My mother-in-law is hoarding all the cookies I baked and sent with my partner to share with them all. The good news is that they're delicious, and I feel validated.

I'm so happy that Ginger gets to live her lap cat life she was always meant for with us after being stray for so many years.

I have too many stubborn broody birds at the moment shoving themselves into one nest box. I wonder if they can hatch the chicken eggs they've claimed like that? My turkey once successfully co-brooded chicks with a chicken hen so it wouldn't surprise me really.

My speculative take on Titan X based solely on the Monarch: Legacy of Monsters season 2 trailer with Goji Center's art direction. #TitanX #MonarchLegacyofMonsters #MonsterVerse #Godzilla #Kaiju

I forgot to take my pills yesterday morning, and now today I feel adrift in a sea of indecision and fear lol

I still think it's funny that half a lifetime ago my high school class voted me most likely to never return.

Just heard the nearly 120 year old art college where I earned my bachelor's took a big donation from Nvidia last year and then is shutting down next year and selling the campus to non-art university. Honestly that Oakland campus was magical, closing it was probably the beginning of their end anyway.
