“Drink, My Loves” Leviathan’s nutrient-dense crop milk varies in coloration depending on her prey. Red is typical, though it may take on a black or blue composition. If you’ve read RIFT, you know the makeup of the slurry pictured here. The spinelings are pleased with this batch.

Another species that didn’t make the cut (& one of my personal favorites from the animals Fred Wierum designed for RIFT).

Sneak peak at the raw (cropped) author photo for RIFT, following a stint in London. @cpdinosaurs #crystalpalace #London #dinosaur #iguanodon

One of my favorite sequences by Ricardo Delgado, from Age of Reptiles: The Journey.

Excited to dive into yet another masterclass in horror by Adam Nevill #horrorhead

Author here, but sometimes I dabble in art. Happy #PortfolioDay

Does this one count lol!? I'm not sure how I've almost completely avoided drawing blood lol.

Illustrations done for this month's Texas Highways Magazine. 100% handpainted, really excited about a huge breakthrough with how I paint textural detail. - Alamosaurus - Dimetrodon - Postosuchus - Columbian Mammoth - (arttag)

Apparently it's #drawadinosaurday and as I can't show the ones I'm currently drawing, he's some of my old favourites.

The end is in sight. Updated RIFT word count: 203,346 (+3,707). 4 chapters left to edit. #author #amwriting #horrorfiction #horrorbooks #dinosaurs #paleontology #paleofiction #paleoart

Participating in a medical evaluation of an African lion today. The second one so far. Nothing says “going method” like stepping into your main protagonist’s shoes. So pumped for these opportunities and how they have translated into the novel. Y’all are in for a treat.

Well shoot. Missed ‘200 years of Dinosaurs’ and an opportunity to plug RIFT with an excerpt: “The sprawling reptiles reminded Lotta of the crumbling remains of the Crystal Palace statues she had seen as a child before they were lost. Before London’s boroughs were swallowed by the sea”

A shrine to inspiration.

Half the paleo community: “The notion that Nanotyrannus is a distinct genus separate from T. rex is the most controversial claim of the past year.” General public: “hold my beer…”

“…RIFT is a grim and gory reminder of humanity’s utter insignificance before the cosmic ineffable as a groundbreaking discovery in the Sahara desert establishes a world-shattering chain of events... (1/2)
